The one and only one unknown rated tech performing nose gear maintenance may have been cause for ins. provider to deny his claim.
ReplyDeleteThis guy has a youtube channel and constantly puts himself and his passengers in situations that any sane PIC would avoid. I'm glad the accident that totaled the airplane didn't cause him any harm, but I hope for his and everyone else's sake he decides to avoid purchasing another plane.
ReplyDeleteAny chance you can list any of the situations that you claim?
DeleteOnly flight I saw was questionable was taking off in a single when the conditions were below returning to the departure. Legal, but our club prohibits it.
DeleteI saw that video. He seemed quite professional in my view. Maybe I would have flown that approach with the A/P, but he was quite proficient and it was a good practice…. And this opinion comes from a 20,000 hr pilot.
