That aspect was cited as a mitigating factor in the in-flight failure of the craft\u2019s left wing shortly before the plane crashed.<\/p>\n<p>An autopsy of Bernath found a cocktail of three potentially impairing psychoactive medications: Citalopram, Mirtazapine and Trazadone, all antidepressants and all carrying warnings that they can impair judgment and motor skills as well as impede the mental or physical abilities required to perform potentially hazardous tasks such as driving or operating heavy equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Bernath had also been released from a months-long stint in a Virginia jail just days before the crash, the report said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the rest of the article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-press.com\/story\/news\/2020\/04\/13\/crash-analysis-said-fort-myers-pilot-beset-multiple-issues-fatal-crash\/2981060001\/\">News Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Fibber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vans RV-12, the type of aircraft which crashed in Bonita Springs on Monday killing the pilot. &hellip; <a title=\"Bernath&#8217;s Crash Analysis\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=98350\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bernath&#8217;s Crash Analysis<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234,218,406,408],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bernath","category-feel-good-stories","category-guest-link","category-stolen-valor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=98350"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":98352,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98350\/revisions\/98352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=98350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=98350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=98350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
