Socata 700 accident.....my personal friend died.

Recommended Posts

As it approached New Bedford, the plane missed its first approach to the runway, and the pilot radioed a "go-around," signaling that he intended to circle the airport for a second attempt, Gretz said. But the plane never made it, bearing nearly straight down at an 80-degree angle, and crashing into the wooded marshland a mile west of the airport.West of the airport would probably be trying to climb away on the missed approach, or it could be trying to turn base on the second attempt.WEATHER: M2352Z 18004KT 1 1/4 SM BR OVC002 02/01 A 2961

Roger that Regg, that brings up a whole new set of what if's. Still the 80 degree nose down thing is a bit suspect with me, but you never know.I wonder if an inadvertant stall played out here as well.

I did see one T-2 years ago which came down heavy nose down into a bog/ swamp in Mississippi. It pitched over and snapped the nose off the aircraft forward of the cockpit. The rest of the fuselage and the high side wing were very much intact.From the pilot and instructor's descriptions of how it went in you would have expected to not find any large pieces left. They saw it go in from their chutes.

It's all plausible, no doubt. I guess we'll see later on.

Please please DO NOT speculate on the cause of crashes, the fact is three people have died, their relatives may read this public forum as may members of the press. The cause of the crash will be investigated in the due course of time and therefore any speculation is not helpful.Wish them forever blue skies.

>>WEATHER: M2352Z 18004KT 1 1/4 SM BR OVC002 02/01 A 2961>>>It would be very interesting to know the Metar report at time of departure. A question to the pilots reading this post...if you saw a forecast as above do you go or stay ? Mark.

I would stay because I probably wouldn't make it under cat I mins. What was the METAR when they departed?

FAA Preliminary Incident Reports - the source of that METAR - only provide information closest to the time of the incident.
