    As a CFII flight instructor with thousands of hours flight time, I have seen so many of these types of pilots. They have lots of money, want to fly expensive, high performance airplanes, but don't have the experience or flight time needed to fly them safely. I came close to being fired more than once for refusing to sign off customers not qualified to fly the plane they wanted to rent. Sadly, I have seen other instructors sign off pilots who were no where close to being qualified because the customer gave them a few hundred bucks on the side. I always took my instructor rating very seriously and got dozens of people their private, commercial, instrument, and flight instructor ratings. All were ready and well trained, got their ratings, and I do not know of a single one having an aircraft accident. Flying is not a rich person's game, it is very serious and should always be taken that way. You can be serious about safety and still have fun. I treasure my flying memories.

      You are absolutely correct, I applaud you and your judgment which is excellent. People don’t take flying seriously especially those who are rich and wealthy thinking a small plane is a “toy” when they are not because there will always be serious consequences when they take unnecessary risks by flying out of control. And these pilots should think twice about the people on the ground that can perish because of their irrational and selfish behavior. Congratulations Sir, you seem to be a very intelligent, caring, and experienced pilot who has a high degree of knowledge. I am afraid of flying but I would fly with you with my eyes closed knowing I would be safe. Kudos to you 👍👍🙌🙌👏👏👏🙂

      I treasure my memories in the air too. My father was an instrument-rated flight instructor and I used to go up with him. I got taught at a VERY early age how to handle a plane safely and it was a lot of fun for me as a kid to be his co-pilot, reading checklists and helping prep the plane for startup (at his instruction). One of the things he taught me right from the get go is "Respect the airplane, and it'll respect you." Plenty of rich folks make good, responsible (and a few amazingly talented) pilots, but these two yobbos weren't among them. I'm sorry you had to deal with employers that put dollars above the safety of their own planes, not to mention you!!

    Cory Lidle's plane crashed into the Belaire Apartments on October 11th 2006. A fire soon engulfed several apartments. In addition to the death of Cory and his flight instructor Tyler Stangler, 21 people were injured including 11 firefighters. The most serious injuries were to a woman named Ilana Benhuri, who's 30th floor apartment Lidle's plane crashed nose first into. She was in the hospital until November 10th 2006 being treated for severe burns.

    I was a die hard Phillies fan. I watched both Cory Lidle and Roy Halladay pitch for the Phillies. Sat down left field line when he pitched a 2005 game home vs the Dodgers. On a side note, Cory Lidle was shown studying weather maps towards attaining his pilot’s license in a 2005 Phillies yearbook video documentary. Also saw Doc throw 8 shutout innings against the Mets at Citi Field in 2010. Both were shocking and terribly sad days.

And then amphetamine? This guy should have never gotten into this plane. Also, alot of these meds have long half lifes, so he was just adding more fuel to his pharmaceutical fire.
    You did a super job on this, as per your usual. Thursday, my cat knows is FLT day, she watches and makes some keen observations.

      Halladay was definitely a suicide. Given the super-dangerous mix of drugs he was on, he was on a track to kill himself one way or another and his decided method was in keeping with his tremendous narcissism and need to present high-impact moments to others. This one was literally "high impact", so his suicide was a 100 percent success.

    As a pilot myself, with no agenda, I have to say I think these kinds of crashes can only be explained by impaired judgment, i.e., drugs or alcohol. Small planes are very predictable unless there are mechanical problems. Every pilot learns that winds and weather are highly unpredictable, so you always need to have an altitude cushion when flying over mountains or skyscrapers. The wind can grab and bounce you around as if you were a toy. These pilots would have been fine with 1,500 extra feet of altitude. Very tragic lapses of judgment.

    The Halliday crash reminded me of Colin McRae helicopter crash. He was also thrill seeking and flying too low with hardly any flight time, and I don’t think he even had a valid pilot’s license.
    These guys have very high self confidence from being an all time great rally driver or pitcher that seemed to lead to overconfidence in their flying skills.
    Theres another rally driver that died in 2001 by flying his helicopter into IMC named Bertie Fisher, the front seats or the helicopter bottom were fiberglass and came loose in his crashing helicopter. If the seats hadn’t have broken loose he and the other front passenger might have survived.

  • @lunayoshi
    @lunayoshi 5 месяцев назад +8

    Among the substances found in the second pilot's system are an anti-depressant and a sleep aid. It's possible he was having a manic episode and was improperly diagnosed or medicated. If he was depressed, a doctor might prescribe him an anti-depressant, which in Bipolar people can trigger a manic episode. If he was having a manic episode, he would have trouble sleeping, which he would have been prescribed the sleep aid for. Now, why he still had it in his system is probably an indicator that he was trying to get high, but I don't know how long Zolpidem stays in your system.
    Either way, among the symptoms of mania is risky behavior. That sure looked like risky behavior to me.
    But this is just speculation. I just recognized those drugs because I used to take them myself before I was properly diagnosed.

    There was just... zero excuse for either of these crashes. The Lidle crash was particularly tragic; he smashed the plane into a high rise apartment complex and terribly injured a number of people, including firefighters. Where on Earth was his flight instructor when he was zooming toward controlled airspace in the middle of the East River? He should have been on the horn with Kennedy ATC asking permission to execute a balloon turn or climb into controlled airspace before they reached the Brooklyn Bridge!
    There's a sense that both of these were young dudes that thought they were invincible (especially Halladay and his drug cocktail). But Mother Nature and the laws of physics always bat last, and their batting average is 1.000. Being a pilot myself I understand the urge to stretch your wings and test the envelope of your aircraft, or go and see some of the sights in places like the East River. But airplanes, particularly small ones, are absolutely unforgiving if you push them past their safe envelopes of operation. A little light sport job like the A5 is *NOT* a "jet fighter." It's a low altitude, low-speed plane that lets you puddle-jump and go backpacking somewhere, not do vertical climb-outs.
    The really sad irony? The Icon A5 has a bailout parachute system in case you get in over your head. IIRC, Halladay's plane had the chute, but he never even tried to deploy it.

    I'm sorry about Lidle and the instructor. It seems as though they should have been able to find a way out of that.

    • @christansdad
      @christansdad 5 месяцев назад +4

      I think Halladay blacked out. He was known to use drugs and have erratic behavior when not pitching. The drugs and flying were part of his adrenaline rush. I think the multiple dolphin movements were him getting and adrenaline rush from the drugs and hypoxia and he simply blacked out on the last upward movement.

    Great video. So let's see (first incident): A wealthy baseball player who is a rookie pilot, along with his idiot flight instructor, neither of whom understand the flight envelope of the Cirrhus, are supposed to fly WEST from Teterboro but instead decide to sightsee around New York City. They are surrounded by super-tall buildings, have no ATC clearance and then crash the airplane. On top of that, New York City is a zoo: you have La Guardia Airport often seeing planes landing every minute (when I worked at La Guardia Hospital in Queens, I once saw planes passing my window every 30 seconds); you have Kennedy, with lots of international and cross country flights, and a busy cargo schedule; and you have Newark International. An air traffic controller has his hands full trying to keep everything straight at La Guardia; somebody at Kennedy is doing same. What do these controllers think of a sight-seeing pilot deciding to take a joyride up the East River? Do you think they will tell him "We're bored; thanks for flying by," or do you think they want to tell him "Get your dumb ass out of my airspace before you kill yourself or 150 other people on a 737 trying to land?" What the pilot and his instructor should have done is take off from Teterboro, head WEST and go straight to their intended intermediate stop, and stay away from high traffic corridors. second incident (Florida): A pilot taking drugs proven to have psychoactive effects and incompatible with safely operating an aircraft, ship or motor vehicle decided he was a fighter pilot, crashed and killed himself. I can only be grateful he didn't kill anyone else.

    • @pomerau
      @pomerau 5 месяцев назад +4

      I remember a previous report / video on this. What amazed me was that anyone could fly VFR in that particular East River corridor. I live in London and never been to the East Coast.
      They SHOULD have known about the abrupt (though widened)180 needed at the end if no clearance was given to go further. I'm not clear if they requested ATC clearance to continue further or if it would ever be allowed.
      Two experienced pilots as passengers, surely one of them knew, but didn't think to warn him until too late.
      Sorry for them all on board (whoever started that manouvre) and the lady who was severely burned in her apartment, as well as the countless (well countable) injuries mentioned by others here.
      Has this East River zone changed, anyone? I think it was alluded to previously.

    • @rbrosz
      @rbrosz 5 месяцев назад +5

      @@pomerau Fixed wing aircraft that aren't seaplanes going to/from the seaplane base have been prohibited from the East River exclusion. It was only ever useful for helicopters and seaplanes anyway, so nothing has really changed from a practical point of view.
      As for why it wasn't set up this way to begin with, I guess nobody thought anyone would be stupid enough to fly a fixed wing aircraft in there at too high an airspeed to turn around. So they just used the same general rules for the East River and Hudson River exclusions, and figured that fixed wing traffic would stick to the Hudson exclusion where it actually made sense for them to be.

    • @cardinalRG
      @cardinalRG 5 месяцев назад +1

      Your questions aren't dumb. That airspace is extremely congested, with several major and other airports sharing it, and so the restrictions are very sensible. But airspace rules weren’t a part of the problem here, because a competent pilot researches them, plans for them, and flies by them except during an emergency. The pilot here wasn’t competent.

    In the second airplane accident, and with so many medicines in his system, no wonder Roy Halladay’s judgment was impaired. Gosh, he should have not been flying at all. Perhaps he wanted to crash that plane deliberately as in suicide??? Who knows, nothing was said about that but it is a possibility.
    And in the first accident, I remember it very well being that day my birthday when that small aircraft hit that building in Manhattan. Cory Lidle should have been more careful flying a plane in that narrow corridor……maybe he would be alive today. Very sad and tragic when these small planes are involved in accidents. They are very
    light planes. I flew in one long time ago and boy, it was scary as to how light they are.
    May Roy Halladay, Cory Lidle and the instructor Tyler Stangler Rest in Peace always 🙏🙏🙏💐
