Accident Report: Incredible

[Flyfalcons]

Good luck. Pilot pulls out AC 00-6A and references the section on how to penetrate a thunderstorm, located in the "Do's and Don'ts of Thunderstorm Flying" section and it's game over. Difficult to establish a violation when the pilot is following FAA guidance.

Cute, but that section begins with how it's important to avoid flying through a thunderstorm. The tips on flying through one begin with this phrase: "If you cannot avoid penetrating a thunderstorm, the following are some Do's Before entering the storm:". Emphasis located right in the text. I'm pretty sure "I'm a doctor with a Bonanza and need to make it to my meeting" does not count as "cannot avoid penetrating a thunderstorm".
