investigating it? it doesn t have a black box? where do you start? the question was this aircraft does not have a black box, no. it is an old vintage aircraft. there are many that do not have what you refer to as a black box nor are they required to have a black box. the problem is that we investigated accidents for decades, and it has only been in the last few that black boxes actually exist. so we go back to the basics. the initial report was a loss of engine power. we re going to look at that and we re going to look at everything. why do pilots always recommend not to turn around. the procedure is not making a u-turn. i don t have any clue. a return to airport depends on what altitude you re at. i don t know what altitude this pilot was at at the time that he chose to do that. so i have no way of knowing whether that was a good thing or
that requires speculation that i can t make at this point. do you know how much time elapsed the. 40,000 people a year die in automobile accidents every year on the highway. and when there is an accident that somebody doesn t die in you don t get that question. so don t know at this point. how could do have lost power? flying in an aircraft it all takes experience. this pilot is an experienced pilot. and i ll say what is the procedure for investigating it? it doesn t have a black box? where do you start? the question was this aircraft does not have a black box, no. it is an old vintage aircraft. there are many that do not have
and depending on what the problem with the plane is, say you don t have that ability to get it over the golf course, it is a real danger and a source of controversy. thank you. really clarifying really helpful. thanks. so scary close call for the actor tonight. he is injured but it is not life threatening at this point. it is striking to see that beautiful vintage aircraft. given the close residential neighborhood, we ll continue to monitor developments in l.a., we ll bring you any new ones as we get them. please stay with us, lots going on tonight.
that i can t make at this point. inexperienced pilot, as a result, it could have been a different event. 40,000 people a year die on automobile accidents every year on the highway and when there s an accident that somebody doesn t die in, you don t get that question. so i don t know at this point. flying an aircraft, whether it s this aircraft or a helicopter or whatever, it all takes experience. this pilot is an experienced pilot. and i ll say that. what is the standard procedure in investigating the airplane? doesn t have a black box, does it? where do you start? crew turning around? the question was, this does not have a black box. this is an old vintage aircraft.
private pilots and private aircraft. just simply because of the fact there s more that s true but the way they operate, the area they operate, and there is a level of experience that hasn t been met yet. remember most of the pilots in commercial aviation start as private pilots in small airplanes, so that s where the training ground is. so you would expect to see a little bit higher percentage of accidents in private aircraft handling and where they go and how they re used but as far as hazards to people on the ground i think that s where we have to be very careful about where we take off, how we take off and how we do these training maneuvers and there are regulations about that and where you can fly and when you do takeoff and landings when you re doing training. miles, often we see a vintage aircraft like this at an air show. how much maintenance is required on something like this versus, you know a modern day cessna or a modern day aircraft that a private pilot may fly? yeah. t
