Question

What I can't come to terms with is why should a crew plan to fly what was virtually a public transport flight VFR from one side of Scotland to the other in duff weather, in an aircraft with limited icing capability and a sus FADEC system. If a PPL in a Cessna did this, we all know what the answer would be. I flew my first solo at 16, and have just retired from flying at 62, including HM aircraft, and I find this decision troubling. I have no axe to grind, and know that as aircrew, we all live in glass houses.
