Pilot in the South Dakota plane crash was given the OK to fly in limited visibility, NTSB says

, according to a press release from the National Transportation Safety Administration.

The pilot initially filed an instrument flight rules -- which describes how an aircraft operates when a pilot is unable to navigate with visual references -- with the FAA. The single-engine Pilatus PC-12 was cleared on Saturday to fly from Chamberlain Municipal Airport to Idaho Falls, Idaho, the NTSB said. The visibility that day was about half a mile with snow and ice along with overcast skies, the NTSB said.

Bad headline. To even suggest the FAA might be responsible for any pilot's decision is a gross misunderstanding of what flying airplanes is all about. Pilots are 100% in charge of the go-no go decision.

Smh

That's not enough

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rest in peace🙏

Reminds me of my namesake, my dad's fiancé who crashed in an airplane the week before they were meant to be wedded from a mechanical failure in the air

Literally not how responsibility works in aviation.

YY OWNED MYY VOICE.

You know how Trump hates those regulations

Taking a risk upon yourself and getting killed = your choice. Putting kids at risk and getting them killed = murder.

Would have been safe driving through it in a 2020 Dodge Ram with a 5 Star safety rating

9 dead in South Dakota plane crash were all part of prominent Idaho familyThe 9 people who were killed when a plane went down in South Dakota on Saturday were all part of a prominent Idaho family that lost members of 4 generations in the crash. Crazy irony that they went to kill living things and didn’t make it home. One less plane and a few less hunters/gun owners. The Bernie and Greta ppl just might celebrate this tragedy. Money cannot protect you against accidents. If only all the worlds 'elites' were wiped out we might make some changes. 🙈😭
