Credentials:
15 years Royal Australian Air Force. Qualified on PC9, C-130, Macchi MB-326, F/A-18, Hawk-127. Qualified Flying Instructor, Instrument Rating Examiner, Low Level Demonstration Pilot, Flying Safety Officer.
15 years airline pilot. Captain on A350, A330.
Causative Factors:
Absolutely no idea. How could I offer an opinion before the data is in?
My deepest condolences to the families of those involved.
