That’s because it will be months before they know anything. These planes aren’t required to carry recorders so they’re going to have to go by ADS-B and radar data, and carefully scrutinizing the wreckage, including tearing apart the engine and checking all the control cables.


Could an EMP gun take down a cessna or are they grounded in a way like a faraday cage?

It could, but general aviation has a pretty sketchy maintenance history. I follow a group that tracks accidents and there are four or five posts a day from various areas.

It is quite ironic this happened or just a case of bad luck being in the wrong place at the wrong time or like you said poor maintenance, but he was with a flight instructor and you would think they checked everything?

Student pilots have been known to get aircraft into trouble before. It could have been something that happened while low and slow, which means very little time to react. Or something that they couldn’t really check without it going through maintenance.

I wonder if there was a mayday call for help? In your circles have you heard anything?

I don't think a instructor would let a student take over an airplane if they are in a vulnerable position.

The student does most of the flying, and can misjudge and get them into the bad position. It’s happened a lot. It’s not the instructor letting them take over in a bad position, it’s the student getting them into a bad position he can’t get them out of.

Not yet. I follow a couple channels that may have something in a day or two.

What I meant was that an instructor will, with the exceptions of landings and takeoffs, always keep the plane at a nice safe high altitude. Giving him a nice cushion to recover from mistakes.

There’s been more than one that got into trouble and couldn’t recover. It’s not common, but can and does occasionally happen. But we don’t know anything yet, other than they crashed.

I do agree that if the instructor lets the plane get to low and/or was not paying attention to the dynamics of the situation you can have an unrecoverable situation and a crash.

Wonder if he was vaxxed or not?

It was a 25 mile flight, that they climbed to 6,000 feet for. Right at the end of the flight, the altitude is showing steady, but the ground speed cut in half or so. There was no post crash fire, and the aircraft appeared intact.

The last reported ADS-B data showed them descending from 4700 feet to just over 4300 feet, with a ground speed of 18-19 knots, which could indicate a steep descent.
