Not blaming the Flt Lt but RAAF Media wanted a piece of the action especially this quote:
I'm sure that the pilot didn't need any talking through the issue. I'm absolutely sure the pilot was telling ATC what his requirements were and ATC did their utmost to assist.
- In short: RAAF air traffic controller Bree Woollett says Monday's wheels-up landing was "the most intense" emergency she has been involved in.
- Pilot Peter Schott, who circled the city for several hours in order to burn off fuel, said his watch showed his heart rate did not exceed 80bpm throughout the ordeal.
Pilot let the team down there.
