There was also an ATSB news release related to the final report:
"JetRanger accident highlights importance of pilots properly declaring all medical information":
https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/news-i...al-information
What I find perhaps most disconcerting in the report is this:
"...Also at 1614, the pilot received and answered a call from an unknown person for 27 seconds. The call ended about 60 seconds before the accident. Despite numerous attempts, the ATSB was unable to establish contact with this caller to seek any further information on the situation with the pilot at that time".
To put this call into context, I have attempted to annotate various events in the report roughly when they occurred on the ATSB's Figure 3. This call was after the pair of turn-backs and some low and slow flight. I assume the ATSB has the number of this call, just hasn't reached the caller. Surely that caller could add whether the pilot expressed any concerns such as chest pain. Wouldn't they come forward?
