Hi Gang
As we all know Mother Nature can be unforgiving to errors in the
air. Alan Pratt who was an experienced pilot bought a Carat motor
glider about 4 months ago. This single place motor glider is one of the
most benign machines available.

As a motor glider operator myself, some more details on this machine
would be useful. Forgive my ignorance but I have not heard of a Carat
motor glider. Who makes it, what are its dimensions and other
characteristics, etc.?

Regarding this tragic accident, in my syndicate we always fly with
parachutes and when at a wave site we always have oxygen.
