Well I know nothing of the specific "can do" factor you speak of, and I ofcourse do not know what happened in that cockpit in terms of the why and what, etc, but I do know that many professionals abandon what they know to be the right things to do when under orders or employed by persons of power and influence. I am not at all seeking to assert that these pilots in fact fell under such a spell, but it does happen often in life.
Right, I was wondering how much fuel was in the plane before he fueled. I also looked up the specs for the plane and found the same fuel burn of 173 GPH.
Same thing I have been thinking too. If the media doesn't understand what it is reading when sent these things, it should seek understanding before publishing false information. The report issued is not a report on the cause of the crash. Determining the cause will take much more information than was presented in this preliminary report. Existing conditions and cause are not necessarily one and the same. I am also curious about the amount of fuel the pilot took off with. If I am not mistaken, 160 gallons would be about less than an hour's worth of fuel for the type of plane he was flying, no?
When did the preliminary report state a CAUSE of the crash, as the Tribune erroneously claims? The report simply states what the conditions were and what were some of the actions taken by the crew and air traffic control. That is not the same thing as making a ruling or determination on the CAUSE of the crash. The Tribune has done a god awful job of reporting on this incident this far, as has the media in general
Perhaps you did not read this newspaper article. The PLP is talking about the FNM, so nobody brought the PLP to the party, they hosted the party in this instance and sent out invites.

Right, which is why I and so many others are wondering why he was so low at the point that he is said to have hit the crane.

This is what causes me to wonder exactly what was happening in that cockpit and with communications between the pilot and ATC prior to the crash.

Right. Well let's hope that logic, as you so correctly termed it, bares out in this aspect of the overall incident.

When the report cited his distance from the runway I wondered to what extent that cited distance was accurate.
