Summary
99 Shockingly, an Air Force test
pilot crashed while landing and died in a Cirrus SR22. Max and Rob
pull the accident apart and examine how failure to follow
procedures caused this crash. The pilot entered the traffic pattern
two hundred feet low. But on base he was 12 knots fast with an
18-knot tailwind. Turning to final at just 200 feet above the
ground he was pitched up and in a 48 degree bank.
