Firstly, thats not what I said and you have maliciously twisted what I said.

Secondly, I was told that hypothesis by a controller with knowledge of the people involved.

Thirdly, the preliminary...

The pilot was young. He was under great stress. He received what was essentially was an instruction from ATC. He needed to descend anyway. I don't condemn him for complying or blindly trusting that...

The ATSB report was a crock. One of my favourite failings of the report was that they changed the radio transcript between the draft and final report. Another is that they used groundspeed (from...

Flighthappens. I agree. But I can't help thinking that the ATSB would have done well to examine the psychological reaction to receiving and obeying a direction from ATC to descend in a state of...

One of the factors here is (I think) that (rightly or wrongly) there is a belief that if you declare a PAN or mayday that you'll spend the next week dealing with CASA paperwork. I think there is also...

I didn't know him at all. But it seems to me that he made a reasonable fist of it. He didn't make the dumb mistakes that the posts at the time speculated. He could have done better, but we're still...

This incident should not have needed the optimising tricks like banking to the good engine. It didn't need to maintain altitude. It just needed a descent rate that was 100 ft/min less than it had. An...

The report doesn't define "Derived Airspeed" at all, which frankly is a novice mistake. I agree that I think its meant to be KTAS. However, it makes no sense.

1. According to the prelim & final...

Thanks. I think that adds perspective to the debate. I agree that I have sympathy for the families and I'm pretty upset that they didn't get the ATSB report that they deserved.

I think I found the Baron incident that you refer to. it's report 200000624. Unfortunately the ATSB do not publish the full report - only the synopsis.

In that case he had a dead engine,...

I have printed the report but not yet read it. On first glance, I suspect that the ATSB has side stepped the more difficult issues that might have delivered some lessons.

Top in my mind, is that I...
