Hi all, Mark Cooper just sent this to me and I found it quite interesting. It involved ultimately a fatal crash of a Lear 35 with the Co-pilot in command, until approximately the last 15 seconds. One would have to question, most likely, the sensory overload that the Captain and Co-pilot had when dealing with a high stress approach into a New York airport. Either the Captain was giving the Co-Pilot an extreme 'fly or die' lesson or he was apparently not competent in that environment and definitely not a good instructor ? Either way, for those of you who are getting up to flying their Lear, this is a salient lesson in doing your homework before departing and having access to information en route should ATC vector you with the unexpected. I wont say 'enjoy'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dE6LROPK58&feature=youtu.be The end may finish abruptly but it will automatically start part 2 which only lasts a few seconds. This is what he should have done. Happy flying, Mark's S & CLear 35 crash into Teterboro
