October 20, 200916 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nm8pNgqBAkIdiots flying into poor VFR conditions without IFR clearance and eventually total IMC in Bonanza at low altitudes with only Garmin 696. They end up nearly colliding with terrain and actually damage the wing by hitting some bushes or tree branches. Talk about stupid.Apparently this has been reported to the FAA, so I'm unsure how long the video will be posted. The pilot(s) will most likely lose their certificates. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
October 21, 200916 yr My hair stood up on my neck. I can imagine how terrifying that must've been, but can't fathom the disregard for life and stupidity it takes to make such a decision as to press on into full IMC in terrain.The pilot's ticket should be (and will be) pulled. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
October 21, 200916 yr I have one thing to say to that, I am never flying with that guy....

October 21, 200916 yr I hope the guy learns from that.

October 21, 200916 yr Madness, absolute madness...To have flown in those conditions the way they did is madness enough. I can only hope that the fact this was made public via YouTube will lead to some form of punishment. The worst thing is that the pilot is not only going to kill himself doing this...Get him out of the skies, he is not only a danger to himself, but to others, and such behaviour is awfully bad press for general aviation...I wonder how many of his passengers were really aware of the dangers...Andrew Andrew Entwistle
October 21, 200916 yr Just the latest in a long line of morons with a God complex. Hope he dies alone, but sadly it's usually this level of ineptitude that ends up taking innocent life - with that said even with several bodies in the aircraft I don't think there was one brain... :( Somebody needs to take this guys licence. Not his pilots licence - he's already kissed that goodbye I suspect - but his car licence and his fishing licence as well.Somebody that dumb shouldn't be allowed crayons, much less machinery or sharp implements.
October 23, 200916 yr I hope the guy learns from that.I doubt it. Most pilots willing to continue VFR flight into IMC in the mountains end up lawn darts. Any marginal VFR flight in mountainous terrain is insane.
