C-152 Breaks Up In Air

wrote

But I would still suspect loss of control and a hard pull-up
when the ground appeared. The usual scenario in the Bonanza/210 crash.

Generally, when wreckage is spread over such a wide area, it indicates a
breakup at a much higher altitude, than a pull-up close to the ground.

Larry,

Tragic indeed.


Hmm. If indeed it was VFR into IMC and the pilot had obtained his
certificate only two months prior, that's not the only word that comes
to mind. And I would have some questions for the CFI.

And what questions would that be? The Pilot applicant also had to
demonstrate some proficiency of the 180 degree turn while under the hood to
the Examiner. I'm sure all records will be reviewed.

It reminds me of the new teenage driver, all is well in front of family and
the motor vehicle test. But then they feel invincible after a few weeks on
their own.

Emily,


Speaking as a CFI who once had a student that she dumped for doing
idiotic stuff, it's not always the CFI's fault.


I'm aware of that. I didn't say anything about assigning blame. It
could be at least interesting to learn from the CFI about the general
mindset of the pilot with rgard to flying.

Btiz,

And what questions would that be?


"What was your impression about the pilot's general attitude towards
risk assessment in flying?" would be one.
