I wrote this on the main channel as x, but thought this might add some value over here. I am a licensed commercial pilot and provide my observations on the NTSB report here. Many, many oddities that suggest the passengers and crew could have been clowns, or at least Passenger -#4 traveling with her.

A commercial pilot’s “Notable and Questionable” observations from the NTSB report on the Fuddy crash:

- The engine was missing a critical inspection required for the number of hours it had been used.

- The pilot, age 60, was a highly experienced “big jet” pilot. it’s actually surprising that he would be flying these commuter flights unless he just loved doing it. He did a masterful job ditching the plane.

- The aircraft was a Cessna 208b “Caravan”. It’s a turboprop, so a jet engine drives a propeller through a transmission.

- Although the aircraft was recovered in about a week, salt water had dissolved the magnesium transmission components

- The plane crashed within a mile of the airport, yet It took 80 minutes for search and rescue to arrive (one would think civilian boats in the area could have been hailed)

- No passenger briefing was given

- Fuddy (passenger 3) was wearing an INFANT life vest

- 1 of Fuddy’s CO2 cartridges was punctured and EMPTY

- Fuddy’s life vest was PARTIALLY INFLATED

- She was traveling with another male passenger (passenger 4).

- Passenger 4 was handing seat cushions to survivors, so he obviously knew they could be used as flotation devices

- Passenger 4 saw Fuddy inflate her life vest before she got in the water, yet didn’t notice it was an infant’s or offer her a seat cushion!?

- They drifted away from the others and he provided the account of her death

- Her autopsy was performed by “Pan Pacific Pathologists, LLC” (PPP)

- PPP is owned by a Delaware holding corporation named ”Sonic Hawaii Holdings, Inc.”
