Fatal Phoenix East Aviation Crash
A few nights ago, a Phoenix East student and instructor were killed when their C-172 crashed shortly after takeoff at Daytona Beach International. The link attached as the LiveATC recording distress call from the instructor and a video of the firey aftermath.

The comm for Phoenix35 that is highlighted in the news video starts at just after 23+00, and then the distress call comes at just after 26+00 if you want to find the pertinent parts a little easier. Obviously the news channel spliced all the comm together and it makes it look like everything happened in a few seconds.
Condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of those involved in the mishap.

The news guy said it was a TO accident, that's wrong isn't it? They were in the pattern for landing when it happened? Either way, loss of engine at night in a single is risky business, and even most junior flight instructors are simply not ready to teach or do it. I made it a point when I used to do a lot of instructing to talk through SEL night engine outs with students, and I was appalled at how little wisdom there is in standard educational materials about this obviously serious topic.
