Summary
230 Max talks about the crash in April 2022 of a Cessna 208 Caravan
in Burley, Idaho. The weather included light snow and mist, and Max
talks about the visual illusion when pilots are flying in mist or
fog that causes them to pitch down. Max also flew the instrument
approach into Burley in a flight training device and noted an error
on the moving map that may have led the pilot to descend early.
