@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | done ;) | 14:31:54 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | my instructors also recommended reading parts of the FAA pilot handbook and I also have a pre-solo glider basics book | 14:33:57 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | it's just been a while and I should review | 14:34:16 |
Aaron | Yeah PHAK is also going to be useful | 14:35:31 |

@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | https://www.wcvb.com/article/small-plane-crashes-into-wooded-area-in-sterling/31405010 that's at the airport where I usually fly | 22:16:24 |
@brad:koehn.com | Sorry, man; that's really hard. Loss of thrust on takeoff is something we powered pilots need to be prepared for. | 22:23:12 |
Aaron | Is there any more information on how bad the injuries were? | 22:25:37 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | none yet that I can find | 22:25:45 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | that's why I linked the news report with a video | 22:26:00 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | I was trying to see what could've happened, but I'll just wait for more details to come out rather than speculate | 22:27:23 |
Aaron | Just looking at Google Maps it looks like there are lots of trees around the airport | 22:28:13 |
Aaron | Do you have a sense of where the plane is in relation to the airport? | 22:28:48 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | Yeah. The area off that end of the runway is swampy, but it has enough trees in it that I wouldn't want to land there | 22:28:53 |
@kb1rd:kb1rd.net | I thought I read that it stalled after takeoff, so probably right of the end | 22:29:45 |
Aaron | Oh yeah the first few frames of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnhFalClHtg show where it is | 22:37:35 |

Aaron | I didn’t realize you knew his. His videos are pretty great. | 23:16:17 |

@brad:koehn.com | Landing on a road, or worse yet on a busy freeway, is one of those things you really hope you never have to do, but sometimes it’s your best option. Things often go poorly, but not this time.
