DUH!
would be a title. CLUELESS over DC would be another. I saw the interview on MSNBC. I read the statement that his lawyer put out which switched between a first and third person narrative, making me also question the intelligence of his attorney, although previously, he served as an attorney with the Federal Aviation Administration. He is past president of the National Transportation Safety Board Bar Association. hmmm... "At this point, for the first time, we were able to visually identify our location as being in a Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ)" Ok, so before they were able to identify their location they weren't following their progress and were, for lack of another word, lost? Nothing I've seen, heard, or read about his flight has changed my opinion of either his nonchalant attitude and or his inability or unwillingness to flight plan through complex airspace. I feel no sympathy for Mr. Sheaffer. I feel a little for Mr. Martin, but he too, even as a 30 hour student, should have flight planned the route and made himself extremely familiar with it. No call to FSS. No VFR or ADIZ flight plan. No flight following. No clue. No more ticket. No excuses. Jim "Paul kgyy" wrote in message oups.com... I can't wait for the book...

The statement also says that they "took a more southerly route in order to avoid the restricted airspace over camp david", but its kinda unbelievable because the direct route was right over DC. To get into camp david they would have to fly a lot more west that they needed to get to the airport in NC. If I ever need to fly under VFR in the proximity of the area, I'd definitely fly a flight plan and get flight following.... |

What a total waste of life. He admitted no responsibility. He said he
didn't do anything wrong. Apparently, just entering the restricted airspace wasn't enough to show him that **SOMETHING** he did must have been wrong!! What an idiot. If it were me, (and I'm going to D.C. tomorrow), I'd lay down real quick, say I'm sorry, say my preflight and in flight management were obviously not good enough, and play the innocent person who made a bad mistake and take my lumps. I think this guy suspects he won't live long enough to get through this suspension. He's pretty old.! -Robert, CFI |

His piloting skills are obviously questionable, as well as the fact that he is not admitting any responsibility (thanks, no doubt, to that high priced lawyer sitting next to him in the interview), but to say he is a total waste of life is just a bit over the top, no? -- Peter |

Here's the link to the video:

I don't know what it is about peddlers of unknown software who seem to think that just because it's free everyone wants it.
