On October 11, 2021, a home security camera in Santee, California, captures an airplane rapidly emerging from the bottom of a cloud base. Split seconds later, the airplane spirals into a residential neighborhood, killing the pilot and one person on the ground.
Join the AOPA Air Safety Institute as we examine the circumstances that led to the flight’s tragic outcome.
The Accident Case Study series uses FAA ATC radio communication transcripts, NTSB documentation, and video animation to recreate accidents and share critical lessons, so we can recognize and avoid similar mistakes.
