having spent some years assigned to a CG air sta, when it comes to flight ops i found little if any'' so called joy riding. Commands for example in Alaska would restrict off airport landing sites for training because of sand ingested into the engines. CG aviators take flight ops very seriously...
Krueger, the PIC, was killed in the crash along with the 2 enlisted crewmen.
Oh! missed that
I don't understand all of the criticism going on here. It seems reasonable to question the circumstances of the flight, and if they have incriminating conversation from the CVR then it's only worse.
I know the PIC is ultimately responsible for the safety of the flight, but you can't discount the responsibility the first officer has to challenge the pilot if they aren't being safe. Instead, it seems likely that the CVR paints a picture of a joyriding flight crew, where the left seat guy is being just as irresponsible as the pilot.

He shares some responsibility'' the degree is what should be determined, but over all the accident rests in the hand of the dead captain . He had overall responsibility for the safety of the aircraft and his crew. Do not forget the command in which this aircraft and crew belonged also holds a degree of blame. USCG aviation is highly structured and regulated . I seriously doubt that we had cowboys '' operating up there.
Well, maybe not cowboys but they were apparently doing some sightseeing. You are correct on the fact that he SHARES some of the responsibility; how much is yet to be determined. Maybe that is why they have filed the kitchen sink full, so they can have some wiggle room. He will obviously get something that is in that plethora of charges. You are also correct that the Captain was ultimately in charge. By the structure that uou mention, I think they have one living out of the dead crew and they want to make an example out of him.
