A plane crash near Bloomington, Illinois on April 7 left seven people dead, including one pilot and six passengers. According to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board, malfunctioning instruments could have been one of several possible causes in the accident.
Airplane accident attorney Philip Bareck claims that malfunctioning instruments can be a serious risk for pilots. "In instances like this, where it's dark out and there's a heavy fog, working instruments are absolutely critical," he explained. "The pilot is totally dependent on those instruments to determine altitude and direction. If they aren't working, it can be a serious problem."
The preliminary report stated that the pilot changed elevation and direction several times while attempting to land at Central Illinois Regional Airport. The group was on its way back from an NCAA tournament men's basketball game in Indianapolis. The many changes in altitude and direction could suggest that the pilot either became disoriented or that his instruments weren't working, or possibly both.
"Unfortunately, we won't have a definitive answer until the NTSB finishes their work," Mr. Bareck, an airplane accident attorney, added. "However, the preliminary report is certainly cause for concern. Pilots have to have functional instruments to operate these planes safely. I'm very interested to see the investigation's final conclusions."
