FrankPilot 138 Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 In 1977 a Piper Aztec crashed in low cloud in a blind valley in Papua New Guinea killing all 4 on board. This video, replicating the flight, is based on the aircraft accident investigation report in Australian Safety Digest No. 100, 1977. Hope you find this interesting & educational. Cheers. https://youtu.be/HC2nbrMBnfk?si=PrMxjMtpHDYsBOGt 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,314 Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 I wouldn't have tried that in a simulator much less real life. Why, why, why, is the question, it makes no sense. Thanks for the look at this accident recreation, I wish I saw this way back when I was a pup pilot and crashed into a mountain. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,314 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Good one! I don't know why but when I first started sim flying and for some time after that, I would actually get scared some when bad things would happen like a crash. Even tough IFR flights would turn my knuckles white, it was an odd sensation since it was only a sim. Now I'm a lot more relaxed yet still have those quick moments of unease when things get tense. I might be the only one that feels this way but it certainly made for some exciting flights. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
