This is a young woman that should be commended.
In an aircraft in a near vertical dive.
Traveling at excessive speeds in excess of 400 knots.
Having a clear view of the ground rushing up at them.
Knowing Beyond a doubt that she was going to die........
STILL did her job. A co-pilot's job is to relay information to the tower in a rapid fashion in an emergency. And she did that.
And those radio transmissions will greatly assist the investigation with critical information.
An absolutely horrific aircraft incident that resulted in the deaths of nine people. Everybody's thoughts and prayers should be with everyone involved.
🚨UPDATE: The female copilot killed in yesterday’s horrific Learjet crash in Florida has been identified as 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha.
She earned her pilot’s license at just 17 YEARS OLD, while she was still in high school. She actually learned to fly before she even had her driver’s license!
She was planning to become a commercial airline pilot.
Her family has confirmed that she was the copilot aboard the Learjet 60 that crashed into a Florida neighborhood Sunday afternoon, killing all nine people aboard.
She was only 20, with her entire life ahead of her.
This is devastating. Praying for her family and everyone who lost someone in this tragedy. 💔

Palm Beach üzerinde uçan özel jetin gökyüzünden düşmesine ne yol açmış olabilir?
Uçak, 70 saniyede 26 bin feet, yani yaklaşık 7.900 metre irtifa kaybetti. Uçaktaki dokuz kişinin tamamı hayatını kaybetti.
Dakikalar önce, 35 bin feet irtifada uçan pilot, hafif ve ‘kontrol edilebilir’ buzlanma ile orta şiddette türbülans bildirmişti.
Bu yükseklikte hava o kadar seyrektir ki bir jetin güvenle uçabileceği hız aralığı daralır. Uçak çok yavaşlarsa kanatlar yeterli kaldırma kuvveti üretemez. Çok hızlanırsa şok dalgaları kanat üzerindeki hava akışını bozar.
Buzlanma bu aralığı daha da daraltmış olabilir. Kanat üzerinde zımpara kâğıdı kadar pürüzlü bir buz tabakası bile kaldırma kuvvetini yüzde 30’a kadar azaltabilir.
Mürettebat, daha sarsıntısız bir uçuş için yükselmek istedi. Ancak daha yüksek irtifa, daha seyrek hava ve daha da daralan bir güvenli hız aralığı demektir.
Tek bir şiddetli sarsıntı yeterli olmuş olabilir: Kanat taşıma kaybına girer ve uçağın burnu aşağı düşer.
Pilot telsizden uçağın hız sınırını aştığını ve dakikada 20 bin feet irtifa kaybettiğini bildirdi. Uçuş verileri ise bu kaybın yaklaşık 30 bin feet olduğunu gösteriyor. Bu, her saniye 40 katlı bir binanın yüksekliği kadar düşmek anlamına geliyor.
Bunun için büyük bir arıza yaşanması gerekmemiş olabilir. Buzlanma, türbülans ve tırmanışın en kötü sırayla bir araya gelmesi yeterli olmuş olabilir.

Georgia drivers can now use their digital driver’s license or ID during traffic stops with state troopers, without handing over their phones.
You’ll still want to keep your physical ID on you since not all police departments accept digital versions yet.

This is for the fools who think they know so much about aviation mocking the woman. The Lear jet fell from 35,000 ft to 10K ft in 1 min! This plane fell 7000 ft. It’s real easy to speak idiocy from a keyboard vs actually experiencing it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video uses real ATC audio from a 2009 Cessna 172 N9815L incident (VFR into IMC, spin recovery with Fort Dodge FSS help; pilot landed safely). Visuals are a Microsoft Flight Simulator recreation, not real cockpit footage.

The new details on the Florida #Learjet Crash are shocking
JV retweeted
And it was. Whoopi said that she had felt none of her roles had left an impact during an interview and an autistic man in the audience spoke up to tell her how much this role meant to/helped him.
Patrick Stewart had a special surprise for Whoopi Goldberg! 🖖
He personally invited her to reprise her iconic role as Guinan in Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard.
Whoopi was visibly touched, calling her time on Star Trek one of the greatest experiences of her career.
After 18 years, Captain Picard was back and now Guinan was joining him again. ❤️

Viewer discretion advised. This is a 3 minute real time replay of the Florida Learjet 60 crash, with the uncut ATC audio.
It pulls together public ADS-B, weather radar, satellite, dashcam and drone video onto one timeline.
Here's what we know as of Nov 2 based on OSINT and today's NTSB briefing:
- Went from ~35,000 ft to impact in ~78 seconds
- Flew into a string of thunderstorms
- Crew reported ice and turbulence; asked to climb then issued a mayday
- All nine aboard are deceased, with one person injured on the ground
- Plane debris spread across half a mile and still being recovered
- NTSB says there is some evidence the jet broke up before impact
- Weather at altitude is a key focus of the investigation; but the official cause is still TBD
I make a lot of 4D reconstructions and this is the most visceral and gut wrenching thing I’ve heard in a long time. My heart goes out to the families of those on board. Important to note that the details so far point to severe weather at altitude rather than a missile or air defense system.
I don’t need shit from a single soul. Not family. Not a friend. Not an employer. Not a colleague.
I don’t want nobody. I don’t need love or comfort, right now. I don’t need that responsibility.
I’m getting everything out the mud in 2027.
New vision. New dreams. New destinies.
Great idea.
