411A - INTERESTING POST!

Where exactly did you get your 'information' from.

The pilot was properly trained and did have the right to fly the aircraft.

quote from AAIB report:-

1.
The commander was qualified, well experienced, competent, adequately rested and medically fit to conduct the flight.

2.
The commander had satisfactorily passed a test of his ability to recognise and deal with a single engine emergency in this aircraft five days before the accident.

I don't think there can be any ambiguity as to whether he was qualified or not!

As for the maintenance aspect, there was no reference in the report to any irregularities in that respect.

So again where do you get your information from to post such blatantly arrogant accusations?

Perhaps you should read Pilot Pete's post (btw it's concerned with the practicalities of flying piston twins) and let those of us who fly piston twins learn from this tragedy.
