1. Was he incapacited? That s odd that he was so off the loc during that approach ar Norfolk. RIP.

2. Not instrument competent. This guy had no business flying in these conditions. His wallet was bigger than his abilities

3. Shit, WTH was up with their compass?
   Were they on something? Because that voice was super low energy, especially for a situation like this.

4. Was at the right of the LOC. Reported he saw the airport. Was under 300 agl. Looks like he tried to turn to the left hard when he saw the field.. And stalled it.

5. An HOUR of fuel? Fly to the top deck and coast your ass to better conditions. A night in a hotel is better than a coffin.

6. I guess that's why you do a preflight

7. Ah man, that controller really tried to help but I can't help but wonder what would have happened had he let the pilot know about PAR plan for Chambers.

8. The weather off the ocean right there makes things really tricky. Temperatures and moisture content can create low dense clouds rapidly.

9. A sinking feeling all the way, one of them cases might have been better to drive or fly another day. A stacked deck is sadly a no win situation, the ATC was very helpful but i think they realized the dire situation. R.I.P.
