Dan Millican originally proclaimed on Juan Brown's YouTube channel that there had to be a mechanical problem on this accident - he later retracted in a later video on his own channel that he spoke about the accident too soon, but he never acknowledged pilot technique as a factor. Dan did fly a...

The Mooney owner appears to have underinsured his plane; says he will be out about $35,000 and cannot continue to keep flying. Not nearly as bad a loss as the helicopter pilots but a loss nonetheless.

New subtopic - the destroyed Mooney pilot posted in Smokehouse Pilots that both the Rotorway and the ELA Eclipse were uninsured - no hull no liability. Does EAA not require vendors to carry insurance on aircraft being exhibited? Abid what say you on that topic?

Well, if Dan was just suggesting EAA leadership bore some responsibility before, he came out and said it tonight. YouTube video at 21:20. “EAA management let those gyro guys fly crazy all week.”

Didn't two Gyro Technics win this year?

Dan Gryder just posted a new video on the midair. Claims that the “gyro pilots were cowboys all week.” Concludes that EAA ultimately is responsible for not grounding gyro pilots who broke the rules.

Good information. Not suggesting there was any fault on the helicopter, and the turn looked tight on the ADS-B track. What a tragic loss.

Dan takes a look at the ADS-B data and points out the gyro was ahead of the helicopter and the Gyro's left 360 that ended in the mid-air. Both aircraft were ADS-B equipped apparently and were transmitting at the time of the collision. I can understand why the gyro maybe did not see the...

I believe the NPRM proposes to do just that for LSA gyroplanes. However, you'll need to be a private pilot or higher to fly them.

Night flight without a medical and with a simple endorsement is a big move.

This letter from the FAA General Counsel contains the most concise explanation from the FAA on why cannot currently be any IFR in gyroplanes...

OMB has posted the pre-publication version of the MOSAIC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Gyroplanes will be able to qualify for S-LSA certificates if constructed in accordance with light sport industry consensus standards. In addition, heavier aircraft, including heavier gyroplanes, could...
