Takeoff is one the most critical phases of flight and pilots drill and are trained relentlessly to prepare for the possibility of a mishap at decision speed. Be they airline pilots, or charter pilots. Really easy for armchair "experts" to dump on a couple of dead pilots.

Would have saved 4 lives that day. It's sad that a lot of private pilots don't receive the kind of training that commercial and military pilots get. Would have saved 4 lives that day.

What kind of discount flight was this. I notice the tires on my car and I am not flying thru the air in it.......well maybe sometimes. Maybe it's a good thing that this pilot is no longer around. She really sucked at her job! Um….aren't they supposed to do an extensive pre-flight check on these sorts of things?
