Pilot had cocaine in system at time of double fatal crash, NTSB says
Records show Jeffrey Salan, 70, was piloting the plane on July 13, 2017 while training 27-year-old Mohammed Alanazi, of Saudi Arabia. The NTSB listed the cause of the crash as loss of in-flight control. Records from the agency show that Salan had cocaine and marijuana in his system at the time of the crash but whether he was experiencing the effects of the drugs at the time is unknown. A family member said Salan used marijuana casually and had used cocaine in the past. Records show the plane then descended a second time and final time at a rate of 10,000 feet per minute.
