I sincerely hope that other forms of ‘cognitive impairment’ than g-induced cerebral hypoxia were suggested by the defence. Mitigating for that condition is part and parcel of everyday flying in fast jets, and most certainly for displaying them. AH did not set out to kill anyone, but if he failed to complete a positive check of gate height due to that wholly predictable condition and not some transient medical issue then he is surely culpable to some degree. The absence of equivalent charges to ‘death by careless/dangerous driving’ is an interesting point.
