Three people are confirmed dead after midair collision in Colorado’s Boulder County this weekend. Greg Feith has provided some of the immediate analysis of the air crash.
“You have to look again, first and foremost at each aircraft for any kind of mechanical malfunction, failure or anomalies that would cause or contributed to the accident,” he said, adding that the other factor includes looking at the avionics of each plane, including the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS).
“That uses transponder information and the transponder basically pings a signal from the airplane. It’s picked up by air traffic control radar so that your plane can be identified by the number, altitude and ground speed. But the technology also lets airplanes communicate among each other. So now the same ping goes off between point or one airplane to the other,” Feith explained.

Serving as 9NEWS aviation analyst, Greg Feith provides expert insight into a recent Boulder County plane crash.
“It’s very rare to find a fixed-winged airplane in the mountains doing any kind of tours just because of the limited performance they have, especially during the summertime,” said Feith. “There aren’t too many fixed-winged, or airplane, tours especially in the mountains because they’re less maneuverable than the helicopters.”

“Feith said the best time to travel in summer is in the morning or late evening because take-offs are easier and smoother. And you can also avoid a lot of the turbulence, like the wind shear diverted 51 planes on Sunday.”

“When you encounter severe wind shear, it’s like a bucking bronco in some cases,” 9NEWS aviation expert Greg Feith said. “The plane will start bouncing up and down, and usually, the pilot will have to make large manual control movements to power through the winds.”
John and Greg will be at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. See them at the Avemco Insurance booth on Thursday, July 28 at 2 p.m.
