the restricted airspace although he recalled seeing a small plane southeast of Airport No 2 Radar records from the airport and Hill however show the presence of the small plane within the corridor of the restricted airspace although they don't disclose its elevation since the Mooney’s transponder was not augmented with what is called a Mode C which transmits altitude information Sunday's test indicates the Mooney would have been within the restricted airspace technically known as an Airport Radar Service Area (ARSA) which at that distance from the main airport extends from 5400 to 8200 feet above mean sea level (ground elevation is about 4300 feet) ' Regulations permit small planes to B-- ThForct pass through the restricted airspace but only if authorization is given by a controller Traffic control center communications records contain no requests from the Mooney to proceed into the restricted zone Dr Lauber has said He also said Tuesday that reconstruction of the two planes’ wreckage has provided solid information about the angle of collision “We have a pretty good idea of the major sequence of events leading to the breakup” Dr Lauber said “The collision between the Mooney engine and the main wing spar of the SkyWest broke the main spar and the wings folded” The spar is a beamlike structure that extends from the main body of the plane to its wing tip The information uncovered by the NTSB has allayed fears of Utah Pilot Association members that federal investigators “were coming off with quick statements of cause and fault that indicated some things that could not be true" said association President Dave Tomlinson "The facts are entirely different than portrayed in the media” he added referring to reports that the Mooney lifted off the tarmac at Airport No 2 and climbed to 7000 feet in 18 miles the distance from the airport where the crash occurred Mr Tomlinson said the information provided by the NTSB "indicates he the Mooney was in the ARSA The last report from the SkyWest Metroliner was 7000 feet Those were frequent reports Encodings take place several times a minute At 7000 feet on the last report it couldn't have been very far off of that” Nonetheless he added "the main High pressure and arctic-typ- e air will prevail over Utah through Thursday The forecast is for sunny clear skies and continued cold Haze developing in some
