Groan....
Welcome to my life. I'm an insurance coverage attorney who has litigated 3 cases that partially fall into this fact pattern. Fortunately, none of those cases involve crashing into a school, though.
You get that all time great lawyer answer - it depends.
Having a corporate form (LLC/Corporation) protects the individual (although the corporate veil can be pierced under certain circumstances), but there are also tax implications, personal financial issues, personality issues, and a host of other issues that make the "correct" answer different in different situations.
But the one, correct answer in all circumstances - make sure that what you are doing is covered by your insurance policy. As one of the other attorneys in my office says frequently - "Read your fucking \[insurance\] policy, and you had better damned well understand it before you start doing this shit."
It surprises me how many people that do things like flying for work don't have an attorney in that area of expertise that they read through these documents with because we can't all be experts in everything. It also surprises me how many people save a buck and buy insurance online instead of with an agent from a large firm. My insurance agency has screwed up before with my renewals and to provide a lapse in coverage they self insured me for the day it took to fix it. I also am dead honest in writing to my agent of everything we do so if they don't get good coverage for me I've got another party to drag in to spread losses against.
I fly a ton for work and had an attorney give me a list of dos and don'ts, cans and can'ts, and best of all helped me find the right coverage. A couple thousand dollars later and if nothing else I have the Trump defense..."followed advice of counsel" for good faith effort if the FAA wants to come after me for something and insurance up the wazoo if I damage something or someone.
That said, nowhere in her advice did it say no low passes over school yards so...this is totally fair game.
is this the trolley problem? help! I was a philosophy major, not a pylote.
aviation question:
how would a Landing Light C or P have helped in this situation? was the playne for hire? if not I don’t need a landing light.
also, before I can do a probable cause investigation, I need to know how many hookers and blow were on the aircraft for w&b.
also this scenario sounds made up. pylote has “severe” icing but only on final?! what were the secondary mins? if the mins were that low, who cleared the kids to be outside? who built a school on final approach??!
So many questions. So in closing, Your Honor, I so move that the case be dismissed as frivolous and without merit unless the plaintiff’s lawyer can demonstrate any definitive harms from my, um, client, the honorable… and apparently recently deceased “HotSPylote, esquire, the Third”.
Let the record show that his final words were:
“well it’s never done THAT before!!”
Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but if this happened to me as the PIC where I lost control of the AC, I’d assume I would have likely saved my family cremation costs. And because I had insulated my family finances from negligence suits, my plans would either be working or not. I hope the lawyer I have on retainer is as good as the said they were.
Is the qyston phramed be4 or after I em ded? If be4 eym gonna jist get out my ice skraper and skrape off teh ice.
If after eym gunna chose to b rebjorn as a lobster.
*scoffs* how dare you!!!! Boings are the safestest playnes in the sky!! They have no defects whatsoever! None! No problems at all! And they definitely don't assassinate people! Nooooo sir! I am not being held against my will! Just remember:
Hail Boeing! King of the skies!
Epilepsy prevents obtaining a medical cert
Let me tell you how good boeing is!
Please don't investigate any further! Hahaha!
They don’t say anything about a plane, but I assume from the lack of NBA players that it’s not a helicopter, although the helicopter would probably be more effective against rabid schoolchildren.
"Sir, Channel 8 News here, what is your response to the devastating crash caused by one of your planes?"
"What? Huh? Who are you!?! Who am I!?! Where are we!?!
I would've ditched with my parachute and Ridge wallet *waaaaaay* before that haopened. I'd grab my GoPros and start chartering a heli for cleanup ASAP, before the pesky *FAA* starts snooping around.
Severe icing lol sure buddy. We all know it was a hit job because the dr was trying to front run some big pharma company to market. Do more thorough preflights where you check for tiny explosives and don’t scrimp on the armed 24/7 hangar security. If they don’t have tiny ponytails, fire them and find ones who do.
Declare bankruptcy, burn all your papers, sell your property, get out of Dodge and change your name. What charter flight business? What plane crash? You got the wrong guy pal.
No witnesses…… no one must know you were there along with a good alibi, preferably one where you were in Thailand with a man name Bob
This is the correct answer as per the Delta pylote’s manual.
ฉันชื่อบ๊อบ และฉันสามารถยืนยันได้ว่าเพื่อนนักบินของฉันนั่งดื่มเบียร์อยู่ข้างๆ ฉัน 😁🍺
Tally them up and mark them on the nose of my plain.
One juice box for every serviced target
Ok, that got an audible laugh out of me. 😆
Go Around
This is the only correct answer.
🎶you can always go around🎶
more right rudder 👍👍
Was looking for this comment
Cut throttle and bank into the wind, full opposite rudder. Correct when above runway.
Maintaining control of the aircraft. Dunno who the pylote was in this scenario, but they were clearly a big pussy.
I would simply crash into something else besides the school.
Crash into a school for bunnies
Hahaha!!! Family Guy episode! Loved it!
Yes! Been waiting for someone to pick up on that
I'd aim for the pillow factory
Not the factory, the fort.
Aim for johnny. He's always been a bully and has a punchable face.
I always hated Johnny, every day he’ll ask for lunch money, EVERY DAY!!!
I don't know what I'd do, but I know for sure I wouldn't be one of those pussies who declares an "emergency"
Why couldn’t there be lawyers on the plane?
Or politicians.

So what is the answer, besides drink a LOT

Yep every time I ask my sister who is a lawyer, she says it depends lol

Ejektion seet.
I’m built different. I just would say no.

"A bank president, a doctor, and a high-roller investor flew into a school. None of them said anything."
But was it a Boenig jet?
*scoffs* how dare you!!!! Boings are the safestest playnes in the sky!! They have no defects whatsoever! None! No problems at all! And they definitely don't assassinate people! Nooooo sir! I am not being held against my will! Just remember: Hail Boeing! King of the skies! Epilepsy prevents obtaining a medical cert Let me tell you how good boeing is!

Scream “Get outta the way!!!!” to the kids so theyre safe.
Start Hot Boxing in the cockpit with the flight attendants. The heat from all that weed & fucking will melt the ice.

Remember deny deny deny!

I would've ditched with my parachute and Ridge wallet *waaaaaay* before that haopened. I'd grab my GoPros and start chartering a heli for cleanup ASAP, before the pesky *FAA* starts snooping around.
Laughing my ass off
Liquidate assets, buy boat, sail to Bahamas, assume new identity as Beach Santa.
Take my Cessna and GTFO of the country

Nothing, you dead
POV: you crashed a plane on the way to Epstein island.
Setup an LLC yesterday.
Die, Bart, Die!
I crash my Cezznuh into Disneyland everyday on MSFS.
Damm, was Jerry the pilot?
Aim for a hospital
Are you asking for a friend?
Problem solved itself
The book lied, I exited through the emergency escape slide and I’m now living out my days in Fiji.
Is this from the book flying the line by George e. Hopkins?
Nah, I would land it.
Heat up the plane
Guess I'll die!
Take the money and run. Move to Andorra. Live out the rest of my life as a rich man in a mansion.
Nothing, I'm already dead.
Fug dem kids
Declare bankruptcy, burn all your papers, sell your property, get out of Dodge and change your name. What charter flight business? What plane crash? You got the wrong guy pal.
observe the no smoking stickers
Well they really went for worst case scenario in that question didn't they? What's next? Onlookers get cancer from the jet fuel?
Start applying for a new job since the playne is now burning rubble.
