Sad because he's apparently instrument rated.
I'm not though so I will sit out the discussion until I become a real pilot.

Garmin 1000. Lots of buttons to get confused with when you when you get stuck on one screen.

Too many GA incidents are VFR pilots flying in IMC.

Half of those guys aren’t even current. It’s expensive, I get it, but you can’t sacrifice safety.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, if you can’t set the ILS approaches in IMC, then STFU and maximize the PLH flow, and turn off the GTDV immediately!

No, you didn't. The plane didn't crash.

George Carlin: When two planes almost collide, they call it a near miss. It's really a near hit!

The guy that got killed in a King Air at BTR a few years ago was a corporate pilot, 6500 hours, type rated in King Air, and several biz jets, He was solo in a King Air with a glass panel for the first time, got fixated on a screen during takeoff, and failed to notice his airspeed was decaying until too late.

Doing good, staying busy. Just had new floors and windows installed. Taking a break from home projects for now.
How’s the Carolina skies treating you?

My plane has a parachute. I would be okay in a crash.

Probably forgot to prepare his Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads.
