Today I'm taking over as CEO of @PioneersGG

For the past year and a half I've poured my soul into this team. We've built a support staff that's grown into a real team, championship rosters, and a content side that actually breathes.

I want to personally thank @markjosey, @samvkulikov, and @Reflex2G for trusting me to keep steering this ship in the right direction. I've learned an unfathomable amount from them about leadership, about running a business in the most honest way even when it costs you, and about when to be patient instead of loud.

Same mission. More throttle.

My grandparents dealt with polio, my parents had to deal with the unabomber, and I have to deal with @coachwhittUM

This doesn't make sense

The elevator coming off is probably the end of this not the start. They are mass balanced against flutter but only up to the designed speed (they were over 20,000 fpm) ... Ice behind the hinge line makes it worse.

TW: Death

This is incredibly sad. I do consider myself a SME for aviation - degree in aviation sciences and many years as a USAF Crew Chief.

From the ATC audio it sounds like they were dealing with partial freeze conditions... when they hit the precipitation they needed to climb to avoid (the freeze again)

When she pulls back to go up, the heavily iced wing stalls first because the ice would lower the angle at which the wing stalls... that wing drops hard, airplane rolls to the 60 degree bank she mentions. Which creates the nose down attitude.

Then once your nose down, in the clouds, flying by instrument only (the crew was in IMC)... over speed and mach tuck... it's already over 😓

RIP, what a sad tragedy. I love aviation with all my heart and things like this hurt our community so much.
