Hello all of my friends listers,
There is a important chapter, I dont have the book with me now but is near the end of the book: Stick and Rudder, yes, "The Book" .
This book and now this chapter that talks about the dangers of flying has to be read by all of us.
Probably not related with this accident, but very important to take note about what the REAL dangers of flying are.
Please read it will help all of us be better pilots. (Newbies like me and real experts...)
Saludos

Okay, Here goes. I will give you an analysis of the deadliest scenario one may encounter.

Literally, this attitude is the one which kills more pilots than any other. It is the attitude of "wanting what I want right now" and reducing the experts to "eggheads". I would suggest that mature deliberation regarding the flightworthiness of your own aircraft is the guiding factor. If one does not have that knowledge in examining his aircraft even after going through the building process, perhaps he is an egghead.
As for this weekend, your plane is as safe as it has been, but the attitude expressed above may get you in trouble. That attitude expressed during the building process has also killed a few folks. So "screw" your head on straight, and go fly.

The problem with "armchair conjecture" is that we do not have the data to
make any sort of reasonable analysis. NTSB has the data, the photos, the
up-close visual inspection etc. I suspect that this is why we have not
heard from the Zenith Aircraft folks. They probably do not have the data
either.
We all will just have to be patient. One thing that I will say is that we
have an airframe that has proven its structural integrity for over 20
years....hundreds are flying around the world and have flown safely for
probably over a million flight hours. I know of no other in-flight
structural failure on any 601.
Patience is the word.
