On January 24th, 2024 Logan James took a Cessna 172 N23107 from ATP flight school in Addison, Texas on his last flight. After one lap in the pattern practicing a touch and go he made a rather chilling final radio call before seemingly pulling the comm1 and comm2 circuit breakers on the airplane. He flew for about an hour before intentionally crashing the plane into a field descending at nearly 5,000fpm. Although he pulled the Comm breakers, it seems he left the avionics master switch on, still powering the ADS-b, transponder, and presumably the other avionics equipment onboard the aircraft. With ADS-b on, we can see his detailed track, ground speed, and altitude changes. Unfortunately Logan chose to kill himself in this airplane-crash suicide, but hopefully this gives us an opportunity to talk about mental health in aviation and how issues like this, Germanwings, and the Alaska air pilot trying to shut down the engines in flight could all be avoided.
