Yesterday’s fatal accident affected me personally

An experienced flight school owner, CFII, and B767 pilot departed KHFY yesterday to begin the second leg of a solo around-the-world flight in her Lancair IV-P single-engine aircraft. Witnesses say shortly after lift-off the Lancair appeared to stall and enter a spin. The pilot was fatally injured. The same witnesses say she may have experienced an engine failure.

This particular PIC was a friend and colleague of mine who inspired many to seek careers in aviation.

Takeaway: The NTSB is currently investigating and will likely publish its ‘probable cause’ report in one to two years. Stall/spin accidents—categorized as “loss of control”—remain the leading cause of aviation fatalities. These accidents often result from distraction, where pilots focus on non-critical tasks instead of flying the aircraft.

Remember:

Aviate. Navigate. Communicate. In that order. Deal with distractions only after ensuring the airplane is under control and safe.
