Experienced pilot and Oakland County businessman David Compo did not obtain an official weather briefing or file a flight plan for the final, fatal personal flight he, his wife and their son took Jan. 2.
A preliminary report released last week by the National Transportation Safety Board highlighted some oddities prior to Compo’s small plane crashing into a Lyon Township home, killing the Compo family and inflaming the other family’s residence.
Aviation experts tend to recommend the use of weather briefings and flight plans, according to Internet research.
The NTSB report details the last hour of the Compo family’s in-flight travels from Canton, Georgia.
