Quoting witnesses: The conditions at the airport at the time of the crash included overcast clouds at 1,200 feet, 1 ¾ miles visibility in light snow and gusting winds, the report says. Two witnesses who watched the plane depart told investigators that it did so during a period of heavy snowfall, acc...

It’s hard to comment any accident without knowing the facts but this area is full of airports. Comparing to Europe, US are littered with airports which greatly increases safety of flying.

By any measure, Cirrus has the best safety record in GA. Sometimes it's accident rate is half. The increase in safety is not all or even mostly chute related. The Garmin avionics and the investments Cirrus made in standardized training are mainly to be credited. The only problem with statements lik...

I fully agree here. You should have the email contact from the survey. Just send it out to everyone who participated. I’m ok if it’s not public. Ed - The point is that this was not advised at the time. Anyone spending his or her time to complete the survey has a right to see the final survey result...

I collected European registered aircrafts owners’ addresses (more than 800) crawling through publicly available data at web sites of different European civil aviation agencies. Practically no help of colleague pilots, no help from DAI at all and no help from service shops. Upon collecting data I che...

In single pilot environment I use checklists on G1000 MFD and I have laminated ones as a backup. Plates are in ForeFlight on glare shield mounted iPad with iPhone as a backup. In multi pilot environment checklists are laminated (according to SOP) while the plates are in ForeFlight on two iPads mount...

Anyone spending his or her time to complete the survey has a right to see the final survey result. Why? People participate in different surveys and never see the results - political pools, media research, customer satisfaction, scientific data collection... This was always my assumption and, I am i...

That’s really slow and uncomfortable for clean configuration and single engine operation. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with 80 knots. On the DA62, that's the required speed for a restart in flight. If you have the good engine at 12% and the other engine feathered, you aren't really "single engi...

but if the issue of windmilling, specifically, causes "stress" on timing chain - how does it do that and why doesn't electric start cause same issue? I'm also puzzled with this but since I don't fly the aircraft with Austro Engine I didn't invest much effort in researching the topic. Howe...
