Hmmm - thanks for above info Wirraway.

Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigator Alex Hood said the Piper Cheyenne was up to 28km off course
:Richard Shanley, a farmer living in Myrrhee Valley, specu lated the plane may have been off course because the flight path for smaller aircraft on the Sydney-to-Benalla route is usually further to the north of his property.

What crap. How would he know what initial waypoint the pilot was using on the GPSNPA?
Methinks someone who has been very vocal in this thread owes the good Farmer Shanley an apology - but I'm not holding my breath.

compressor stall over to you
