    Juan spot on as always. There was a second pilot (Brandon Hannah) on board, but not C500 type rated. The radio voice from 66BK sounds like a younger voice. Just a hunch. I’ve sent your video to one of the Nashville TV stations. Your 11 minutes has more good information than all the other coverage combined.
    There are relatively recent pictures of Mr and Mrs Lara in a Hawk XP. It’s a pretty big leap to a Citation.
    I have a friend who flies a CJ for a company. He said the insurance for single pilot was significantly more than the cost of a second pilot, and he’s extremely experienced.

    One of the big problems in early Citations was the Artificial Horizon required a long time to spin up the gyros prior to flight in order to become effective. Several years ago, another Citation crashed shortly after takeoff going into IMC because the pilot didn't allow enough time before takeoff for the AH to "uncage." It would interesting to know how soon after engine start this aircraft went airborne.

Woodring, 2nd Lt, U.S. Army Air Corps, a "Mustang" as he had come through the enlisted ranks, KIA in France on July 10, 1944. He was one of the "old men" in his squadron at 22 years of age.

      Single pilot, in the weather, USE the Automation. Did the “Automation” have a failure here which lead to the “chain of events.”

      @@rodcoulter997 no sir it doesn’t have auto throttle. There is a possibility that the autopilot might have failed hope fully that information will be uncovered during the investigation. The other question in my mind would be the level of Aviation education of-the pilot in command. Was he unsure of how to use the functions of the autopilot? The very viable questions have been raised about the pic’s instrument currency? The CE501 is. actually a relatively easy airplane to fly and that can lead to complacency.

      Well, the only person on the plane that was type rated for the Citation was Joe Lara but his license was invalid from his medical certification being expired (last updated in 2017). There was another person, Brandon Hannah, on the aircraft who had a valid license but wasn't type rated on the Citation according to FAA records. To me, it sounds like the pilot knew how to fly a plane, just not that plane.

      @@roji556 To me it looks like as if the one pilot (Mr. Hannah) knew how to fly a plane, just not that plane - and that the other pilot (Mr. Lara) knew at least in the past how to fly this plane but was for years out of flying business (given that he had no valid medical certification and the last update in 2017) and was therefore unable to manage the situation. So to me there´re a couple of open questions in this case: Was Mr. Lara the PIC? Was he a single flying pilot or sat Mr. Hannah with him in the cockpit? Do we hear Mr. Lara on the radio? And why was it possible that an airplane departed the airport with no pilot with a valid license on board? Especially the last question is important if we want to learn lessons from this crash. I hope that the Preliminary Report will bring us at least a step forward to answers.

    Juan, you always blow me away. Insightful accurate analysis without inappropriate emotion and fear selling of the masses. I think you are probably spot on in the suggestion of a pilot disorientation. That turning and climbing entering a cloud layer has disoriented all of us a time or 10. You have to really maximize your efforts on setting that adi perfect and doing whatever it takes to hold it there. Even rolling out would have helped this pilot immensely. Pitch and power in a slight climb until your head clears out. Such a huge responsibility for pilots to take people up in the air that don’t fully understand what is happening. Don’t take these responsibilities lightly. Stay proficient and know your own personal limits and abide by them. Use strategies to sequence things and keep the workload down. Never forget that your passengers are counting on your skill, not your ego.

    Will be curious to see what happened in this one (in a year or whenever). I've taken off in a Citation into night black-on-black (technically VMC, but no reference to a horizon with the deck angle after takeoff) for a return to service flight with a failed primary gyro roll input to the left seat's AI that went unnoticed for several seconds. I was monitoring on the right side and was wondering wtf the pilot was doing with the crazy roll inputs and about to take over when he finally got an external visual reference and realized what was happening. We terminated the flight without issue. You can't always trust your instruments and, in this case, it would've screwed the AP as well since it took roll data from the same faulty gyro. After the flight, we realized the connector between the gyro and the bulkhead had a bent pin for the roll data. This left the AI without any flags - it happily assumed the roll was at zero degrees and displayed only pitch. Without a second pilot and if it was actual IMC, this flight likely would've ended up cratering and, depending on the state of that connector in the wreckage, resulted in a "pilot failed to maintain control" PC.

Priest Lake is basically all that separates it from Nashville International hence the turn and climb and maintain 3000 until the hand off to BNA out of runway 32.

    Thanks Jaun for explaining these to us non airplane pilot people. I used to fly with my uncle occasionally. He had an old Cessna 172? He was a retired test pilot in the navy from shortly after WWII. He would let me run the controls once in a while so I have a little sense of what goes on.

    Apparently his medical was not current, by many years. He married a wealthy woman who bought this old Citation 501SP. You can get them for as little as $250,000, depending on engine time remaining. I have a CE500 Type and +300 hours in Citation I and V. It was my first jet. I loved flying them. It was so easy to fly. An old citation is better than an old piston twin. Yes they are slow jets but fly high and faster than piston and most turboprops. *It is possible it had instrument failure? I don't know what flight instruments it had. I wouldn't be surprised if it still had original 40 year old mechanical/electrical flight instruments.*

    I sold Mac tools years ago, and one of my stops was this airport. It's also used by the Reserve base there. They worked on the Blackhawks, and I would spend too much time there just looking at the different aircraft. The coolest thing I ever saw was around 6 Blackhawks taking off. They were in a row and hovered for a while then just like in the movies. they formed a line following the leader to the runway and took off heading down the runway. The hair stood up on my arms.

    The airport is actually just Smyrna, Tennesse (KMQY), NOT “NEW” Smyrna Airport as you continuously refer to it.

    If anyone is interested in turbine engine igniters, AgentJayZ just did a video with a nice hands-on demo of one working on the bench. Very much like a multi-thousand-dollar barbecue igniter. Experienced or not, current or not, anyone can get "the spins" entering IMC, so anticipating that problems can arise when entering IMC seems like a good idea - being prepped and ready to engage the autopilot sounds like a good idea.
