This is another example of CASA acting in a reactive manner rather than a proactive one. I think trying to take Mr Field to the cleaners is both unfair & unwarranted, when the real issues lay within the nebulous CASA systems within which pilots have to navigate. Without wanting to speak badly of the deceased, it appears clear to me from the material presented at the coronial hearing, that Mr Van Hattem was a cowboy & unfortunately, has taken a young life with him...
