The Flight Deck

My sister, a newly-minted private pilot with instrument rating, ferried a Cessna 172 from Kansas to Ohio just last week.  She left it in Ohio due to icing conditions, and another pilot later flew it to Bangor.  I had shared some lessons on icing conditions I’d picked up here, along with a few of my own, and she promised to fly safely and put down at the first sign of ice.  She learned well.

Unfortunately, the new owner did not.

Helluva way for two ferry pilots to have to remember a lesson.
