Morning all,
Here is the AAIB Report from the July 08 Bulletin.
Interesting point about being spiked but for a number of reasons, not least the amount of time it takes to prepare for even a local flight, I believe this is highly unlikely to be the case.
Terrible event - I'd always assumed that in this sort of accident the "pilot" was likely to have "trained" by Twocking Ford Escorts & using MS Flight Sim, not having undertaken all the training, expense & discipline necessary to earn a full PPL.
It certainly brings recreational flying into disrepute and is a reminder of how flying under the influence of drink or drugs can ruin lives.
Regards, enq.
