He/She runs like an O-6!


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Glad no one got hurt, and can go home to kiss the kids and spouse.

I wanted to follow up on this accident. Was it really a fogged up windscreen that caused the accident? Sounds a bit odd.

16's don't have windscreens

I think he was referring to the canopy

Yeah I know...couldn't pass it up.

Yeah, the clear bit in front of the pilots melon. How can a fogged canopy result in a high speed landing?

You could google the accident and get the boards findings as to the cause of the mishap.

It sounds like somehow you know the landing was "high speed" (i.e. higher than normal?) - assumption or actual fact?
To answer your question, I don't think a fogged canopy could have that result unless it resulted in distraction. Speaking generally, I supposed it could prevent visual assessment of speed and runway remaining if forward visibility was impaired - but I'm not familiar with the specifics of the report.

You're welcome.

How did you do that????
