CAP 881CP Accident Scenario2 Preliminary NTSB NTSB Identification: SEA08FA CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Thursday, November 08, 2007 in Las Vegas, NV Aircraft: Cessna T182T, registration: N881CP Injuries: 2 Fatal. This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On November 8, 2007, approximately 1930 Pacific standard time, a Cessna T182T, N881CP, was destroyed after impacting mountainous terrain while in a climb near Potosi Mountain, about 24 nautical miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. The airplane was registered to the Civil Air Patrol, Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama. Both the left-seat and right-seat certificated airline transport pilots sustained fatal injuries. Visual meteorological dark night conditions prevailed for the 14 CFR Part 91 personal cross-country flight, and a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan had been filed and activated at the time of the accident. The flight departed the North Las Vegas Airport (VGT), Las Vegas, Nevada, approximately 1915, and was destined for Rosamond, California (L00).

CAP 881CP Accident Scenario3 NTSB Identification: SEA08FA023 Continued In an interview with the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in- charge (IIC), a local law enforcement helicopter pilot, who was on an aerial patrol mission at the time of the accident, reported observing an explosion in mountainous terrain southwest of Las Vegas. The pilot stated that immediately after the explosion he flew directly to the impact area, which took approximately 5 to 7 minutes. The impact site was reported to be at coordinates 35 degrees minutes north latitude and 115 degrees minutes west longitude, at an elevation of approximately 7,200 feet mean sea level. The accident site was located about three-quarters of a mile southeast of Mount Potosi, elevation 8,514 feet mean sea level. Due to the remote location of the accident site, only limited onsite documentation was possible. A detailed examination of the airplane will be conducted subsequent to its retrieval. Parties to the investigation include the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Civil Air Patrol, the United States Air Force, Lycoming, and Cessna Aircraft.

CAP 881CP Accident Scenario8 Class B Communications According to the AIM (3-2-3), VFR aircraft are encouraged to utilize the VFR planning chart as a tool for planning flight in proximity to Class B airspace. Charted VFR flyway planning charts are published on the back of the existing VFR terminal area charts.

CAP 881CP Accident Scenario9 The pilot is ultimately responsible for the safety of the flight FAA Order , paragraph (Basic Radar Services), and paragraph (Safety Alerts) requires the controller to provide basic radar services for VFR aircraft, including safety alerts, traffic advisories, and limited radar vectoring when requested by the pilot. Controllers are to issue a safety alert to an aircraft "if you are aware the aircraft is in a position/altitude, which, in your judgment, places it in unsafe proximity to terrain, obstructions, or other aircraft."

CAP 881CP Accident Scenario10 Planning a VFR Night XC Plan on the ground, not in the air. How will you get to a safe altitude or airway? Obstacle clearance on departure. Use of departure procedures Once on an airway fly the MEA or at least the MOCA. Plan for WCA, On the G-1000 Terrain feature, yellow turns to red real quick.. Use of autopilot. Following highways gives some lighting and distance perspective

CAP 881CP Accident Scenario11 Communicate Talk with other pilots. What do others recommend? Always file a flight plan and use flight following when applicable. Set up Terrain feature. (map soft key, terrain soft key) Make sure Airways are present on MFD. (you may need to zoom out to see them) check DCLTR

CAP 881CP Accident Scenario12 What is your plan? How much time do you spend planning a XC flight? Have you flown this route before? What equipment is available? What precautions are being taken?
