https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N47 ... Z/KROW/P19 :
According to flight aware (link above):
. The pilot’s journey started 9 hours earlier in Addison, Texas.
. The first leg, The pilot was airborne 3 hours 22 minutes.
. The aircraft made a transient stop at Roswell, New Mexico most likely as a Fuel/pee stop.... and probably to take selfie’s overflying Roswell Incident Site <<<<< SPECULATION mixed with Humour
. The airplane was on the ground for roughly 44 minutes before departing en-route to Chandler’s Stellar Airpark, which is said to be America’s most beautiful Airpark.
. On the incident leg, The airplane was airborne for 4 hours 35 minutes before it crashed within half a mile from the Stellar Airpark.

The pilot spent more than 8 hours in the small cockpit of a Cessna, in the span of 9 hours. Cruising at 8500’ for a majour chunk of the journey.

Let’s be grateful that the aircraft was very low on fuel, maybe even almost TOO dry, and hence no fuel leaks OR post impact fire.

Let’s not speculate and jump to the conclusion that Get-There-Itis and Pilot Fatigue played any role in this event. “OBVIOUSLY” NTSB will not even remotely investigate Pilot Fatigue as a contributing Factor here.
Let’s not even start speculating if fuel had anything to do with this.

No one should try to learn something positive from this accident; it is business as usual. We should wait and see what NTSB comes up with in 12-24 months.

This Chall**ger dude must a blood thirsty piece of S*** who enjoys watching/posting YouTube Aircraft Crash videos just as a mean of self-gratification ... and it has nothing to do with education. NOTHING.
