Summary
In this special episode of Aviation News Talk, Max discusses a recent fatal crash involving N1089W, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, at MacArthur Airport in Long Island. The aircraft lost power shortly after takeoff, leading the pilot to attempt a 180-degree turn back to the runway, a maneuver often referred to as the "impossible turn." The plane crashed short of Runway 6, resulting in the deaths of both the pilot and passenger.
Max explains the dangers of the "impossible turn," especially for faster aircraft like the Bonanza, due to their larger turn radius. He suggests that using the full length of the runway, rather than an intersection departure, might have provided the pilot with more options for an emergency landing. He emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation, including identifying suitable landing spots and conducting pre-takeoff briefings. He also advises pilots to use the full runway length whenever possible and to be cautious and prepared for emergencies.
