    Is there a chance the electronic air defense system around MaraLogo Forced down the plane? If it changed altitude when entering that airspace and the systems didn’t recognize the plane as friendly?

      I’ve looked into it a fair bit, the tldr is they flew in Florida during awful storms. They had icing and tried to get over the top of a really high storm. It’s a big no no in flying and sadly they crashed.

        I have a friend that used to work in aviation doing retro fitting, they would say “all it takes to become a test pilot is to take the airplane past its defined limits” meaning that anywhere beyond those limits they don’t know how the aircraft will behave.

        Going beyond the intended flight ceiling is a big no no because it changes a lot of other parameters like stall speeds and angles.

        I’m real curious to know what che deal is with the rear elevator ripping off though. Mechanical failure or failure due to massive forces bing applied.
