Cessna 310 impacts mountains more than 150nm off course
The Cessna was on a VFR flight from Flagstaff Pulliam (KFLG)to Tucumcari Muni (KTCC). It crashed into high ground (11,600') in San Juan County near Ironton, Colorado, which puts it around 150nm off course. (aviation-safety.net) Mais...

FLG-AMA - heck a blind squirrel can follow I40. So has anyone explained why it was off course in the San Juan Mtns?
Hot, high and heavy -- predictable results.
Not quite sure how runway performance ties in to gross navigational errors, but if you say so!
Not runway performance. They were over 11K ft. Maybe sightseeing trip gone bad.
I understand the implications of the three H's on enroute performance as well, when one hits a mountain 150 miles north of the intended course I don't think that's the crux of the problem. Pretty strange.
Well, as Matt says above, a blind squirrel could follow I40. Something here not being told, mainly why was he 150 miles off course.
Read all the news accounts of it, hmm, seems they launched the CAP around a half hour before the crash. Time line wrong somehow but found nothing about it being off course in them.
