CASA the crash specialists

LeadSled is correct, many other instances. One memorable landing in one of Conellan’s Herons resulted in bending the fuselage. Strengthening members were bolted lengthwise inside and the aircraft ferried to Adelaide for repairs.
ATC used to give them extra spacing, so it was said. One night I heard a couple of CASA pilots manoeuvring to land at Moorabbin with inadvertent open mike. Most amusing, particularly a slightly nervous transmission late on final, “we don’t want to land long!”
But those were the days when we could all get on, in spite of the paternalism, and there were a number of respected CASA ops people.
For Glen I would echo other advice not to go to the AAT, a proper court is the best avenue.
