be me pilot single engine private, ran out of money during instrument training

if he was mechanic he could have the knowledge to get the plane in the air

u can put a plane in the air the wrong way,whatever, if you can release brakes and increase throttle, the plane with become airborne at a certain speed depending on the plane

whats important is what he had to do in order to even have the opportunity to put the plane on the runway in order to throw the throttle in (or forward) and get to his take off speed.

What instructions did air traffic give him for example (how to use the radio, enter a specific squawk code, etc)

why was he clue less about cabin pressure and supplemental oxygen but knowledgeable about other stuff

the barrel roll was a complex maneuver, at that altitude if the throttle was to high or to low by just a little bit and he would have been dead

did he try and land? Did he throttle down for landing attempt, did he engage flaps, did he kamikaze into ground to end it all (no speed or pitch changes during final decent)

even if gas runs out he can glide down to earth at relatively slow speeds with help from air traffic. although that plane landing anywhere but a flat surface like grass is going to be messy

if he was running out of gas, why the fire and how much fire

where is the video from the tarmac of him taxing the plane to the runway??

did he have to tow the plane out of a gate or parking spot?

lots of questions not enough answers

why do reporters suck, not one story about the incident is being written by anyone that gives a fly fuck about important details

fly by media sucks
