MISTAKES/GOOFS
- MISC: The TNT&G team portrayed the pilot as having weak flying skills. He must have been a cut above the average, however, because of the complex multi-engine airplane he was flying. A pilot generally gets his training in small single-engine planes and obtains a license to fly them. (This does not necessarily apply to military pilots.) After he builds up his experience and flying skills in single-engine planes, he will progress to multi-engine planes, and he will get his license upgraded to fly them. Training in multi-engine planes is usually done in relatively simple ones, but when one has the money, he would later get into a more complex plane, such as the one the pilot flew in this episode.
- FACT: The TNT&G team stated that an Air Traffic Controller informed the pilot about the bad weather he would encounter, but they could not prove it, because the warning was not on tape. In reality, such tapes are saved for 30 days.
- FACT: The TNT&G team saw a need to prove, if they could, that the pilot had been issued the warning about the bad weather by an Air Traffic Controller. In reality, the pilot, and not the Air Traffic Controller, is responsible for obtaining the weather, using all means available. Weather changes, and if a pilot is not in contact with Air Traffic Control, he would not necessarily know about them, but the responsibility rests with the pilot, not ATC.
- FACT: A great deal of emphasis is given to whether the pilot was drunk. As far as the FAA is concerned (Federal Aviation Regulation 91.17), a pilot may not fly if he has consumed *any* alcoholic beverage within eight hours of flight. They are very strict on this, so one drop of whiskey would be considered "consumption," as would (believe it or not) a non-alcoholic beer, because, they say, it still contains some alcohol, even though it is a very small amount. As for blood alcohol content, while most states use .08% by weight as the criteria, the FAA uses .04%. Therefore, a pilot could easily be in violation of this regulation without being drunk. A pilot charged under this Part would also be charged with "careless and reckless operation."
- FACT: If a pilot encounters clouds, and he is not operating in accordance with Instrument Flight Rules, he is required to turn around. In order to get a Private Pilot License (the first license a pilot normally gets), he must be trained in, and must demonstrate competence in, basic flight by reference to instruments, just in case he accidentally gets in the clouds and needs to turn around to get out of them. In other words, when the pilot went into the clouds, he should have been able to turn around in order to get out of the clouds.
TRIVIA
- End credits and press releases had Claire's and her parents' last name as Tate. Throughout the episode, however, they were referred to as Miller.
