Yep, wire markers would be cheaper...for that set of wires! How many wires do you mark before a database is cheaper?
yep, telling him about the wires and doing a good map recede is the go. How many people still hit wires? Is that working?
yep, pilots with all the technology hit the ground still. But how often compared to those without?
stop and think.... very very few pilots fly into obstacles they can see in time to avoid. Ergo, give them that visibility. Won’t solve all of these, but it will trend it downwards quickly and cost effectively. But we all keep saying yeah, but.....
Perhaps the PNG accident gets its own thread?
(PS: would they have hit the ground if the pilot could see it?)
