One need not be a psychologist to know that N30CV's pilot is suffering from some sort of loss of confidence in his own ability, possibly some trauma or PTSD symptoms, and is not safe to fly.
What bugs me most about this story is that the Feds let him take off the following day after clearly problematic behavior.
This is actually, IMO, an indictment on how poor a job Trump's FAA is doing.

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Eh, more likely a lifelong raging narcisist and sociopath, looking at his disciplinary record as a cosmetic eye surgeon. It also seems his campaign contributions bought him some local influence in the past, and he might still be counting on that for getting out of his current trouble as well. But yeah, the FAA needs to ground him regardless of his exact diagnosis 😂
