"An air traffic controller didn’t tell Scott Crossfield he was headed
for a storm, but then Crossfield didn’t ask, either."

The avweb article links to this Washington Post story:

I think I read in the NTSB preliminary report that Scott had an XM
weather subscription. Since I'm a user of the XM product, I'd be
interested in knowing whether he was displaying the NEXRAD in the
cockpit, and what it showed.

Don't forget the AFSS briefings and service is **** now that
contractors and the FAA have turned the AFSS service into a
cluster **** giant turd. Also notice most of the EFAS and
AFSS frequencies in Georgia(Along Scott's flight path) stay
broke all the time.

I am sure that did not help the situation

It does make you feel better however the FAA continues to
fund and expand their Civil Rights staff and send Black
employees to resort spas and keeps "Kissing the Black Ass"

Who cares about aviation safety as long as the minorities
are all warm and fuzzy huh???

The FAA and the AFSS contractors pay their technicians over
$75,000 a year but they can't repair a simple ****ing radio
or Nav-Aid facility??

Sad
