...AussieMate:
Perhaps your preflight should have been completed.?????
You assume am awfull lot AussieMate!!
I can F#%^$ assure you i did do a preflight, but after an engineer has spent a number of hours working on your A/C and he Tells you all is fine and wants you test fly the machine!!
Oh and the bolt that holds the Collective in position is behind a Panel and so not able to be checked by the pilot!
During the Preflight raising and lowering the Collective revealed no problems it was only after lowering the collective on approach to land that the bolt then fell out!!!!
Instead of CASA trying to Justify its own excistance, by coming up with these stupid rules..Can't wash the windscreen Jesus what next!!Maybe they could spend some time and money on
ridding the industy of the Shonks!!!
CASA claims its Credo is safety! but is only concentrating on the Big carriers..while some peanut comes up with some hair brain ideas and rules for G.A
