without having to watch a video?

Frankly, probably not interested enough to read beyond a paragraph description. I just wish people here were invested enough in the topics they post to give an inkling of a clue so people would know what they're about to give so much time to for fruitless watching.

No way. No blank way.

Pretty sobering channel on the limits of pilot capabilities when you take chances greater than your ability to manage the situation you are in.

I think, if you are at all interested in plane crash analysis, you will find it v informative (I've watched several Pilot Debriefs and all have been well presented by an experienced pilot).

in aviation accident investigation and prevention. I was curious about these particular accidents but I don't need a 20-minute video to tell me what probably caused them: poor or no weather briefings and VFR into IFR conditions. It would have been useful to know the particulars, though, like maybe a citation to the NTSB reports.

Like bots are incapable of signing in to bot accounts.

PII mill.

This guy is absolutely correct! The rogue pilots were too full of hubris, their poor families.

Thank you for posting.

Not certified for instrument-only flight, lousy weather, a wish to meet a schedule, and a huge helping of hubris. Maybe hubris is a natural byproduct of being rich; I'll never know that one.

It was a 20-minute video, but I thought it was well-done and moved at a good pace. I liked it.

Only fly with cautious, qualified pilots. Hubris and overconfidence are killers. Similar to the JFK, Jr crash. VFR rated pilot flying in IFR conditions.

because of the screwups by these G.A. pilots with more money than sense?

even when applied to GA accidents. Without having to watch more than a couple of minutes of this video I was easily able to find the NTSB report on this one. Predictably, the probable cause was "the non-instrument-rated pilot's intentional visual flight rules flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in controlled flight into terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's established anti-authority attitude." https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/192293. However, there could have been other contributing causes (drugs, hypoxia, bird strike, mechanical failure), and it's important to know whether any of those were present. All of these data are used for educational purposes to prevent other accidents. This one was simply another instance proving the old adage, "You can't fix stupid."
