• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Small plane down in Clearwater, FL

I hate to play devi'ls advocate...but were they flying through the night? That seems like it would be a toll on the mind/body... I mean if there was a fuel issue, then most likely time of day was probably not a factor, but if it is one thing I have learned from being around aviation and with dad getting his LSA, it's that you do not put yourself into potentially dangerous situations i.e. weather, time of day, etc....
 
Since the crash occurred at around 4am, it is quite likely that fatigue did play a factor in this accident.
