These videos are inspiring me to learn to fly with an AoA indicator. Not airspeed, not pitch, not the dreaded horn, but an indication of the actual angle. Do you fly with AoA?
I have aoa on the planes I fly at my day job. All information is good information so long as it helps the pilot get a more complete picture of the flight's situation. Would I spend my maintenance money on aoa or rotables? I think I get more flight safety for my dollar by more fuel, filters, oil, etc. I could be wrong.
The established ACS technique using Vx pitch attitude for short field and Vy pitch attitude for normal takeoff is neither normal nor safe for experienced pilots working small airplanes in maneuvering flight. Crop dusters, visual patrol pilots, fire fighters, and others working at low altitude understand that airspeed is life until high enough to recover from inadvertent stall. Whatever happened with whoever was in control, myself or any experienced pilot would have immediately pushed hard on the yoke to decrease a pitch attitude that clearly was going to get this fairly powerful airplane high enough and slow enough to kill us quickly. Vx and Vy pitch attitudes are safe in two engine airliners that can go around with full load on one engine. We do not have rocket power, even in a Cessna 180 or 185. We cannot leap tall buildings in a single bound. Yes crop dusters and bush pilots use Vx or Vy as appropriate at the very end of the runway and with maximum airspeed developed level in low ground effect. This airspeed, not altitude, is what makes the outcome of the zoom climb just over the obstacles never in doubt. Vx or Vy as appropriate, just a short distance down the runway, is never appropriate. Either pitch attitude is inappropriate and dangerous without zoom reserve airspeed.
looks like this has nothing to do with medication or the Pilot at all. It looks like a panicked student locked up and killed them both. But you are right, we'll never know.

Another good one! 👍
Glad you liked it!

Loss of Airspeed after takeoff.
Is the pilot safe?
They didn't make it. One of the reasons I focused on this accident is that there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
