IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Since this Cessna Citation CJ4 went missing late Thursday night December 29, 2016, there has been a lot of arm-chair piloting/quarterbacking commentary posted online. Napoli Shkolnik aviation attorneys will not engage in this type of discussion. What is clear at this point is that John T. Fleming was both a successful businessman AND an experienced pilot. The registered owner of N614SB—Maverick Air, LLC—is an Ohio business entity incorporated in 2005 by Mr. Fleming. John T. Fleming has been involved in aviation for over a decade, held several pilot certificates/ratings including airplane multiengine land, and was almost certainly proficient in using the advanced automation in a 2012 Cessna CJ4. Based on my pilot and plane and helicopter crash investigation experience, there are far too many unknowns to speculate on possible causes of this aviation accident at this juncture. Just as a doctor performs a differential diagnosis to rule out possible medical conditions, so too does a crash investigator create a list of all possible causes, then as the evidence comes together, systematically rule in/out each possibility to get to the root causes. The 2012 Cessna CJ4 comes standard with a cockpit voice recorder, a 3-frequency emergency locator transmitter, and there will likely also be performance information downloadable from the Williams’ engines.
Krajowa Rada Bezpieczeństwa Transportu i Federalna Administracja Lotnictwa przybyły na miejsce dziś rano. NTSB prawdopodobnie opublikuje swoje wstępne oświadczenie w ciągu najbliższych kilku dni. Jest zbyt wcześnie, aby określić przyczyny tego wypadku lotniczego. Pogoda w KBKL (Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport) o godzinie 22:45 czasu lokalnego była w przybliżeniu wiatrem 260 przy 23 węzłach, w porywach do 32 węzłów, widzialności na odległość 6 mil ustawowych, lekki śnieg i mgła, z sufitem na wysokości 2100 stóp nad poziomem gruntu (złamane ) i warstwa zachmurzenia na wysokości 2600 stóp. Kontrola ruchu lotniczego nie ujawniła, czy pilot wykonał wezwanie Mayday lub ogłosił awarię, zanim samolot zniknął z radaru. Ta Cessna Citation CJ4 została wyprodukowana w 2012 roku, napędzana dwoma silnikami turbowentylatorowymi Williamsa FJ44-4A z pełną cyfrową kontrolą silnika (FADEC), wyposażona w najwyższej klasy automatykę i awionikę, w tym system zarządzania lotem serii Collins 3000, i certyfikowany do użytku przez jednego pilota.
The NTSB will do excellent work investigating this crash; however, NTSB practice is to include party representatives in its investigatory team. There is a high likelihood that Cessna and possibly other product manufacturers will have representatives actively involved in the investigation of this aviation accident. The victims’ families should have their own party representative involved as early as possible. The manufacturing and maintenance representatives will seek to protect themselves from liability and help steer the NTSB. These families deserve their own eyes and ears working now as well.
