  1. Last return on Flightaware was -1,412 FPM at just 400' MSL while at 299 degrees turning to 27 (a sea level airport). This flight never got out of the pattern and lapped once with the first lap dropping toward 27 at -1512 FPM at 1,100 MSL. What in the world were they doing.

    1. Previous flight a couple of hours before that included two circling descents. Maybe the accident flight occurred while training.
