The Learjet 60 crashed because 1 pilot was completely unqualified, uneducated & unprepared for the flying conditions. The other pilot made a mistake likely because he thought the ice was better managed than it was, but that's why you have two pilots. They are supposed to be equal, but that obviously wasn't the case. She had no idea what was happening with the aircraft or even how to correct the condition. Instead her solution was to scream like a maniac over the radio and it's not me being mean. You have to understand that her life doesn't matter in that situation and there are people who trusted them with their lives. You are supposed to stay calm in that situation & start performing remedial action to try to correct the out of control plane condition. I will be interested to know if they tried deploying the landing gear, that's like the last ditch effort when planes have found themselves in "mach tuck". That's why you hear the main pilot reciting the Lord's Prayer because he realized that they are in the mach tuck condition & maybe he tried to lower the landing gear & nothing happened. At that point he knew nothing was going to work and knew he was going to die. Just a slightly educated guess. Everybody has to start somewhere, but there are just SOME THINGS in life where good ole experience should never be substituted. RIP to the passengers who lost their lives & the pilots.
