NYC99MA178: Full Narrative

Suspicious: LIGHT RECORDERS

The airplane was equipped with a Flightcom Digital Voice Recorder Clock, DVR 300i. The unit contained a digital clock, was wired into the radio communications circuits, and could record conversations between the airplane and other radio sources, ground, or air. The unit was voice activated, and the continuous loop could record and retain a total of 5 minutes of data. The unit had a nonvolatile speech memory that required a 9-volt backup battery to preserve the speech data. When the unit was located in the wreckage, it was crushed, its backup battery was missing, and it had retained no data.

WRECKAGE INFORMATION

What jumped off the page at me louder and brighter than his low time/inexperience was that almost a quarter of his total time was in the company of an instructor pilot acting as a safety observer. Not a way to season yourself. You tend to act more of a passenger/student when the IP is in charge and don't take as active a role in decision making. That puts his "real" time around 200 hours of being PIC. Night and weather were no place for him.

The disorientation crash profile is classic. Happens every year to newbies who let their egos put them in situations their skill and experience can't cope with.

Unfortunately, this disorientation crash profile is all too common. He got vertigo as I have many, many times but he didn't have the experience or instrument training and discipline to counter the vertigo. He lost control of his aircraft. You can see from the radar plot he was all over the place.

To put the final dive in perspective, for this type of aircraft, a 1000fpm (feet per minute) climb or descent rate would be on the high side of normal. In excess of 4700fpm is going to exceed the structural limits of the aircraft. Had he not slammed into the water, he would have torn the wings off the bird in short order.

"A performance study of the radar data revealed that the target began a descent from 5,500 feet about 34 miles west of MVY. The speed during the descent was calculated to be about 160 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS), and the rate of descent was calculated to have varied between 400 and 800 feet per minute (fpm). About 2138, the target began a right turn in a southerly direction. About 30 seconds later, the target stopped its descent at 2,200 feet and began a climb that lasted another 30 seconds. During this period of time, the target stopped the turn, and the airspeed decreased to about 153 KIAS. About 2139, the target leveled off at 2,500 feet and flew in a southeasterly direction. About 50 seconds later, the target entered a left turn and climbed to 2,600 feet. As the target continued in the left turn, it began a descent that reached a rate of about 900 fpm. When the target reached an easterly direction, it stopped turning; its rate of descent remained about 900 fpm. At 2140:15, while still in the descent, the target entered a right turn. As the target's turn rate increased, its descent rate and airspeed also increased. The target's descent rate eventually exceeded 4,700 fpm. The target's last radar position was recorded at 2140:34 at an altitude of 1,100 feet."

Hey, if we're going to talk conspiracy theories, with the above radar plot prior to the crash, maybe he was trying to join the Mile High Club.

Low-hours fool with even more limited instrument experience takes a shortcut (far out) overwater on a dark night and rediscovers The Graveyard Spiral. Assholes applaud it. Proving only that little JK was chief among them.

Brilliant.

Since Bush was never in the CIA until he was made director in 1975 he could not have planned nor executed an assassination on JFK.

 

[Votto]

George H Bush was the mastermind behind it while he was with the CIA.

Conspiracy

It's not a conspiracy if you can prove it..........or if you are Dim.

JFK Jr's estate would have been subject to a law suit for criminal negligence after he was responsible for the deaths of two other persons under his care but the criminal enterprise known as the mainstream media downplayed his responsibility for their deaths.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

George H Bush was the mastermind behind it while he was with the CIA.

No surprise this got deleted,youtube is such a facist voice fir the government,they are deleting practically everything now not in favor of the government.

 

[whitehall]

George H Bush was appointed to the CIA about 13 years after JFK was assassinated. Maybe young JFK had Texan George H Bush mixed up with Texan LBJ.

It's a shame really. JFK jr. had everything going for him including Hollywood good looks, intelligence and history but something went wrong. Instead of politics he decided to get into the publishing business with a lame idea and pilot a plane without being checked out for instruments. He is guilty of causing the death of his wife and his wife's sister with his reckless conduct. The magazine went under a couple of weeks after his plane went under.
