Another victim of the glass ceiling. Certainly died on impact.

Im not a pilot and have no idea how flying works but how exactly do you crash a plane that badly? What can go wrong that you'll die? I mean if your engine stalls you can just glide down. Hydraulics fail that you cant steer anymore?

It's a hotrod build-it-yourself plane that doesn't handle engine failure well and a crash landing isn't survivable because the nose will catch and bring you to a very abrupt stop, seems like she was trying to return to the airport and didn't make it, there's a reason why cessnas are expensive despite being dinosaurs technologically, they're boring but they don't kill their pilots like some of these new wonder planes like to do

I like to think I know better than to tempt fate by poking fun at air tragedies. But sometimes something totally expected happens - what can you do yk?

Quite literally.

I do flight reviews for a guy who owns one. He only flies it to a handful of ports and he has these painstaking routines and flight paths to ensure he is always within glide distance on a runway. OK, thats risk managing but the speed/efficiency gains are negated by all these detours and onerous circular/pattern climbs after takeoff.

I think he has it for the cachet. Knowers look at him like some badass who isn’t afraid of anything. The reality of course is that he is deathly afraid of this plane and for very good reason.

And if he dies it's the plane's fault because he's not a woman.

not hard to be within gliding range of a road at all times
or ditch in a river/lake

It end-o’s on water. Also hitting water at 90mph is not that different than hitting dirt, except you can drown in dirt.

Roads are awful places to land. I don’t know where this meme comes from, I think people want to be on TV. Power lines are everywhere and will absolutely 100% kill you if you him them at approach speeds of a Lancair. Especially in a composite aircraft.

Godspeed, Anh-Thu. Rest in peace.

Always found the whole aviantion influencer / instagram pilot personality extremely off-putting.
