chrisk Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 I received a call from a law firm based in Washington state (I think), who wanted to take pictures of the inside of my 1981 Mooney 231. I declined. I'm just curious if anyone knows the details of why someone would want this? All I know is its about a crash and presumably a law suite Quote
gsxrpilot Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 Interesting... they couldn't find one closer? Quote
GDGR Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 Odd. You'd think they could go on controller.com and find photos everywhere. I'm guessing it's potentially a measurement thing (pedals deep under dash / fuel selector perhaps) 1 Quote
johncuyle Posted May 24, 2019 Report Posted May 24, 2019 A couple years ago I got a call from someone, perhaps a lawyer or investigator that wanted to ask me some operational questions about 231s. I believe it was in reference to an incident where an overloaded plane took off from a short strip on a hot day and didn't make it. Also in Washington. I didn't talk to them too much because they couldn't disclose much about what they were doing. Wonder if it was related.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
carusoam Posted May 25, 2019 Report Posted May 25, 2019 There is a thread for something sounding similar in Philly... The dog and pony show was to be held on the front lawn outside the courthouse... Water in the fuel issue... equipment manufacturers are at risk of getting lynched... Best regards, -a- Quote
steingar Posted May 25, 2019 Report Posted May 25, 2019 A court of law is no place for an honest man. Shyster wants something from me he can pay my consulting rate, which is a crapload more than his billing rate unless he’s F Lee Bailey. Shakespeare was a wise man. 2 Quote

KB4 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 Call them back and tell them for 4k they can take all the pics they want. Sorry anything related to aviation gets a huge markup, did they think this was somehow not aviation related? Seriously though there is a budget for this type of evidence gathering, they need it for a case clearly. Get a grand out of them. 1 Quote

BillC Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 There was a guy on the board a while ago asking a lot of questions about how a Mooney could have crashed if you all remember. I wonder if it is the same guy? Quote
