Doug,
You are well over the edge.
Many posts on this forum have indicated very foolish piloting techniques and
poor maintenance practices. Similar unprofessional behavior may well have
contributed to the accident pattern we have seen. There is no way this can
be tied directly to what has happened, but it is a a couple of factors that
need to be considered. We are all now paying, in time and effort, for what
is mostly a CYA operation.
News flash. Fly an airplane within its limits, do proper maintenance, and
you are very unlikely to have problems.
I have flown a number of very tough airplanes well beyond their stated
limits only because I had to in severe combat situations. The 601XL was
never designed for those sorts of operations. This is a light aircraft
designed primarily to cruise from A to B. Stay within those limits. It is
clear that many do not, and add poor maintenance to the equation.
Karl
