The Learjet 60 crashed because 1 pilot was completely unqualified, uneducated & unprepared for the flying conditions. The other pilot made a mistake likely because he thought the ice was better managed than it was, but that's why you have two pilots. They are supposed to be equal, but that obviously wasn't the case.
She had no idea what was happening with the aircraft or even how to correct the condition. Instead her solution was to scream like a maniac over the radio and it's not me being mean. You have to understand that her life doesn't matter in that situation and there are people who trusted them with their lives. You are supposed to stay calm in that situation & start performing remedial action to try to correct the out of control plane condition.
I will be interested to know if they tried deploying the landing gear, that's like the last ditch effort when planes have found themselves in "mach tuck". That's why you hear the main pilot reciting the Lord's Prayer because he realized that they are in the mach tuck condition & maybe he tried to lower the landing gear & nothing happened. At that point he knew nothing was going to work and knew he was going to die. Just a slightly educated guess. Everybody has to start somewhere, but there are just SOME THINGS in life where good ole experience should never be substituted.
RIP to the passengers who lost their lives & the pilots.
The co-pilot of the Learjet that cr—shed in Florida has been identified as 20-year-old Nathalia Filgueiras, who reportedly texted her boyfriend just 10 minutes before the de—dly crash.
Her mother says she always feared that flying would eventually take her daughter away from her, despite being proud that she was pursuing her dream.
“I wanted her to live her dream, but I knew that her dream was going to be the thing that would take her away from me,” she told the New York Post.
Just 10 minutes before the crash, Filgueiras reportedly sent her boyfriend a message saying: “I’ve got turbulence, I’ve got ice.”
The jet was reportedly heading to the Bahamas when it plunged toward the ground at approximately 20,000 feet per minute.
Filgueiras earned her pilot’s license while still in high school. Her stepfather said she had accumulated 1,300 flight hours.
She had previously celebrated her achievements on social media, highlighting that she and her boyfriend were both under 21 and already held commercial, multi-engine, instrument and flight instructor certifications.
Eight other people were aboard the aircraft when it cr—shed. Their identities have not yet been released.
