Could the lack of a moon have contributed to this tragic accident?



Offhand I'd say it an impact with granite. And that's always down to the
pilot not knowing where he is.

Period.


And considering the N-number was a 2007 T182T they were in a G1000
with moving map and minimally can display "terrain" screens on the 12"
moving map MFD.
