As an occasional reader of PPRune I was sufficiently appalled by the posting from Boyd Munro regarding the "airmiss" that I registered in order to respond. I cannot believe that someone who uses the title President AIR SAFETY AUSTRALIA decides on the basis of having 'spoken' to one of the pilots involved that the event was no of consequence. I wish that my air safety investigations could be resolved so easily and so quickly. Does Mr Munro have any formal training as an investigator - in any capacity? I suggest that he leaves the investigation to the professionals and reserves his comments and opinions until the outcome is determined. I doubt that any Australian genuinely concerned with air safety would agree that 200FT separation between a RPT aircraft and a bug smasher in the circumstances described in the incident should be considered acceptable.
