And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A rare exception to the "I know better than the boobs who wrote the manual" mentality.
That same mentality probably kills them in cars, boats, and everything else too, but no one tracks that.
Think about what kind of mental state you'd have to consistently maintain to do wrong-site surgery (amputating the healthy limb, etc.), and you have the answer to "why?".
WOW - a factor of 4! “ Private planes have been associated with a higher risk of fatalities among doctors, with historical data showing that physician pilots had a fatal-accident rate four times higher than the average for all other private pilots. This trend has been attributed to factors such as risk-taking attitudes, poor judgment, and inadequate training for handling complex aircraft. Additionally, many doctors flew for recreational purposes, often without the same professional urgency that might justify the risks, leading to decisions to fly in adverse weather or with mechanical issues.”
Professional Kennedy JFK JR bought the farm in a different high-performance aircraft, in his case a Piper Saratoga, the circumstances of which are yet another cautionary tale.
I was an A&P at a Beechcraft Dealership back in my youth and the last one I worked on was brand new turbocharged A36 straight tail and the Dentist that owned it was killed when he crashed about mile short on landing. He was totally intoxicated flying around in a high performance aircraft.
When I was a teen, my dad had one of these in Anchorage, Alaska. Ground School was free for me in high school and I did fly it with him on occasion. Lots of fun.
the " forked tailed Doctor killer "
ReplyDeleteas old pilots used to call them

Twin Beech-- "Doctor-Lawyer Killer"
DeleteI built a 36" wing span version of this plane out of balsa when I was about 12. Yeah, Cox .049.
ReplyDeleteMy MD uncle surrendered his pilot's license when he saw the statistics on the death rate for doctor pilots in general, not just for the Bonanza.

ReplyDeleteRich enough to buy high-performance planes, but too busy to maintain proficiency.
DeleteArrogant Assholes, who a smarter than you.
Deleteunfortunate losses considering you need your ass fixed.

ReplyDeleteGet the yaw damper kit. I think it's an STC. Trust me on this.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger problem is the loose nut behind the wheel.

DeleteThe V tail Bonanza required a lot of attention while flying it as it could get out of shape quickly. I liked the Cessna 172 which almost flew itself.
ReplyDeleteMy first ever plane ride was in a Bonanza.
ReplyDeleteVery good at flying into granite cumulous clouds.
