Night VFR… An Oxymoron?

Abstract

Volume 9 Issue 1 Publisher Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract A primary lesson that I was taught aircraft life sciences mishap investigation training was to resist jumping to a solution until the evidence took me to a solution. Several plausible scenarios could explain JFK Jr.'s mishap. This writing should not be construed in any way to suggest a solution to this mishap; the solution will only be possible after the physical evidence (wreckage) is collected and analyzed by trained mishap investigators. Rather, this is a technical explanation of how Spatial Disorientation, as one possible cause of this mishap, can occur. Scholarly Commons Citation Leland, R. A. (1999). Night VFR... An Oxymoron?.
