A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Emergency Landing: Fla Gov. Charlie Crist



What: Florida State Plane
Where: Tallahassee
When: Tues May 6
Who: Gov. Charlie Crist
Why: The Plane's autopilot, yaw damp and pitch trim malfunctioned in the first 45 minutes of Crist's flight from Tallahassee. The yaw damp is part of the autopilot system that helps stabilizes the tail, and the pitch trim the craft's up and down movement.
