BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - In a preliminary report, the NationalTransportation Safety Board says a Cessna 182M airplane that
crashed last month flew into increasingly cloudy conditions at
night before the plane hit the ground at high speed.
An aviation safety expert says details presented in the report
may point to pilot Glyn Ray Johnson of Gautier, Miss.,
encountering the classic scenario of spatial disorientation in
cloudy conditions that can often send pilots awry without close
reliance on their instruments.
Keith Mackey, president of the Ocala, Fla.-based Mackey
International, said Wednesday it's the most likely scenario that
took place.
Johnson and two others were killed in the crash north of Albany,
his girlfriend 39-yeaer-old Tabitha Dolbare, of Vancleave, Miss.,
and their son, 12-year-old Nelson Dolbare, who lived with his
mother.
