Summary 230 Max talks about the crash in April 2022 of a Cessna 208 Caravan in Burley, Idaho. The weather included light snow and mist, and Max talks about the visual illusion when pilots are flying in mist or fog that causes them to pitch down. Max also flew the instrument approach into Burley in a flight training device and noted an error on the moving map that may have led the pilot to descend early.
