Fact of the matter is that the pilot identified that he/she wasn’t happy with the fuel quantity on board the aircraft and made very good decision to do something about it which resulted in an excellent outcome - case closed if you had no business in the operation. Let the authorities do their job and let’s wait and see what the final report brings.
When the engine/s stopped it was decided - there was no decision to be made!
The pilot made a great choice of where to land and a great job of the landing.
The outcome was excellent.
Let the authorities do their job and let’s wait and see what the final report brings - This was mentioned often in the first thread, as was it ran out of fuel!
