The pilot was mature and experienced. The weather brought the plane down. Oh that's just not true. A combination of a pilot who had failed five flight test and a co-pilot that didn't even know how to deice brought the plane down. You guys attacking anything Ken says just because HE says it, is starting to sound very VERY strange. Better to stick to reason.

Both the pilot and co-pilot were sleep deprived and poorly trained.

I have been following this quite closely and the pilot and copilot brought this plane down with a series of errors on their part. Also totally ignoring protocol below 10,000 feet in the total concentration zone where they were chattering along like school children rather then flying the plane. Finally when the stall alarm went off the pilot for some reason known only to a dead man pulled back on the stick rather then pushing forward and giving it more throttle which is the proper protocol, totally stalled the plane plunging it into the the ground. From what I can see these two pilots should have been hobbyists operating under VFR only.
