CT4ME Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Sad news, but not much information yet. Looks like a CT, piloted by long-time pilot, 90yr old Jerry Naylor. Dog survived. http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2017/07/fatal-accident-occurred-july-01-2017.html http://www.kwwl.com/story/35796071/2017/07/01/update-pilot-dies-in-monticello-crash N62JN is registered in Monticello http://kwwl.images.worldnow.com/images/14285106_G.jpg http://www.kcrg.com/content/news/Plane-crashes-near-Monticello-airport-432016683.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT4ME Posted July 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Quite the accomplished pilot... here's an article from the EAA chapter newsletter in 2006, sharing his new CT with the members...

FredG Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Monticello is a short flight from Iowa City. I didn't know Jerry Naylor, but others in this region did, of course. I have purchased seed from his company, Naylor Seed, in Scotch Grove, IA. This will be hard for the rural community where he lives. A sad day, indeed.

bmar Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 50 yards from the runway? Could this be an engine out on final? Anyone have anymore details... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmar Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Nothing wrong with trying to identify the issue. He was obviously a high time very experienced pilot, and we should all learn from events like these, especially when it's our same aircraft. If anyone has any further details please post.

CT4ME Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Based on the picture, it wasn't your standard "glide into a field" type of thing. Unfortunately, it'll be a year or more before we get the report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Cesnalis Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 To me it looks like a high speed entry into high corn across the grain (perpendicular to the rows) with an eventual flip over and then breaking apart. Since the pilot was an accomplished 90 year old I like to think he died from being 90 years old, on the way home, almost there still doing what he loved to do. I don't want to think about the corn, good on the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 The corn is Iowa is about 3-6 feet high in this area, depending on the field. No ears yet. Don't you think that beaten down path from the runway was made by rescue workers getting to the wreckage and not a path cut by the airplane?

Yes Fred I see what you mean, doesn't look so high speed or so badly aligned now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procharger Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sorry for the family, sounds like he had a good life of flying, I would like to see a close up pic of the plane to see how the cockpit held up, rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all feel strong remourse when these incidents happen. Now stop your whining On the Cirrus board, there was lots of discussion on the topic of what's appropriate to discuss after an accident. With too many data points, the consensus seems to have been that discussing what could have happened in an accident, but not being judgmental to the pilot, strikes a balance of the learning to be done, without disrespecting the pilot or his/her family. Personally, I don't believe any lines were crossed here, at least relative to that standard. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Gone West... At age 90, doing what you loved to do since 1946 - no one else hurt, dog safe... Sounds like Divine Providence to me. Prayers to the family, a tip of my cap and a moment of silence for Jerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapman1959 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 My thoughts and prayers to the Naylor Family during this difficult time. My father is 91 and still driving and doing everything he did when he was 81, and it sounds like Jerry wasn't letting age crimp his favorite past times much either. I know we should not speculate on what might have happened here, but instead let the authorities do their work,. But after some wrangling I feel it necessary to express my opinion to those of us who fly with medium sized to large dogs in our tight little cockpits. If a dog got his body or butt against the stick pushing it to the side or straight back, or straight forward, dealing with the unusual attitude and possible G's produced by the animal on the stick could make for a very tough recovery? I am in no way implying that is what happened in this terrible accident, but lets all be aware of the possibility of such a situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
