Airplane in NYC is a Cirrus SR20
CNN is reporting that the pilot was a Yankee's pitcher: Lidle. He
apparently got his license only 7 months ago. Bragged about how safe his plane was. I have a feeling this is similar to JFK junior's case of not knowing one's limitations. Sinan -- A. Sinan Unur (remove .invalid and reverse each component for email address) |

I talked with my aunt who also lives on the east side of Manhattan and she said it's been a crappy day up there... in fact, while I was talking to her it started raining. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

CNN reports 8-mile visibility but low ceiling (1800') at the time of the crash. (Most of CNN's coverage has been quite good; they're getting commentary from their journalist Miles O'Brien, who's a pilot. They also found a pilot eyewitness on the ground who provided a cogent account.) --Gary |

I have a feeling this is similar to JFK junior's case of not knowing one's limitations. The hourly METARS for 1800 and 1900Z for the area airports put things at 017OVC and 7 Miles. It had been poorer (008OVC and 2 1/2 RA). |

An old NYT article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/08/sp...erland&emc=rss NYC weather looks pretty crappy today. A. Sinan Unur wrote: CNN is reporting that the pilot was a Yankee's pitcher: Lidle.

... He busted Class B too. What makes you say so? The crash site is abeam FDR Island, adjacent to part of the East River VFR corridor. (Or do you just mean that he was slightly inland at the moment of the crash?) And is it known yet if he might have had a Class B clearance? --Gary -cd "A. Sinan Unur" wrote in message ...

Isn't the restricted floor in the area ~1500 feet?
1500 foot floor, 1800 foot cieling... VFR into IMC anyone? |

A pilot correspondent at CNN said that (can't remember his name).
