If there is a standards issue with Angel Flight Pilots, then there is a standards issue across all pilots, in which case CASA needs to look in the mirror, not point fingers.
……...and that guarantees what? Obviously nothing! Both weather related but who's in charge of decision making? Your so called 'experienced' pilots! In these two cases one should not have even left the ground the other should have not continued to destruction! In both case the end results where totally unnecessary!
I believe CASA should put a stop to it, but that's just my opinion.
