Chinook
John Blakeley. I have never commented on the airworthiness aspects of this case because I am not qualified to do so, and even if I were so qualified I have not seen the documents.
But my background does permit me to point out that the crew committed a grave breach of airmanship by flying as they did and where they did in those weather conditions.
You may well say that the a/c should not have been flying at all, but the plain fact is that it was flying and this crew was flying it.
I am sure I do not need to repeat the whole argument yet again, but it has nothing to do with blind suport of the AMs. Regards JP
