Tragedy at the Reno Air Show
The Reno Air Show is normally a time for pilots and spectators to enjoy an aviation experience like no other. On September 17th, a crash at the air show took the lives of 9 people and injured dozens of other spectators. As a pilot and aviation attorney, our hearts go out to those involved in this tragedy.
The "why" behind this horrific tragedy will take more time to unfold. The apparent failure and in-flight departure of the 'elevator trim tab' may have caused a severe upward deflection of the elevator, resulting in a significantly high positive g-load while entering the near vertical climb. It is currently suggested that the g-load was so excessive as to cause a loss of consciousness of the pilot. Note in the vertical descent that followed, just prior to impact, the pilot is not visible in the cockpit canopy. This may well be attributable to his loss of consciousness due to the excessive positive g-forces. It has been reported that photo chips from the in-cockpit camera(s) have been recovered and are being analyzed by the NTSB. This evidence will likely shed further light on the issue of pilot incapacitation.
However, totally aside from - and more important than - the mechanism of structural failure, is the question of whether the Reno Air Races allowed the race course track to be too close to the spectator areas. We expect this to be a major area of examination and dispute.
We will provide our thoughts and opinions as the evidence surfaces.
