Hot 'n' High
The difference here was that the two light aircraft crashes were rogue British PPLs carrying out commercial flights.
The ATR ‘stone skimming’ event was carried out on a commercial flight by pilots holding professional licences and duly authorised to operate the flight.
Culture played a significant part in all three events ~ a blatant disregard for the rules and regulations.
The PPL holders knew what they were doing was illegal and didn’t give a toss, with the PA46 pilot & passenger dead.
The ATR event was “pony express” mentality (by the Captain) which nearly ended in disaster.
I had thought about mentioning the “Swiss Cheese” model. However, the mince had consumed all that cheese, before it appeared on the table !
The Trick Cyclists would have a field day.
