Would you deliberately take an aircraft containing your crew, your pax and yourself into such a situation - risking turning it into an 18-ton glider? Jon Tapper and Rick probably wouldn't (we'll never know for certain - one of the points frequently returned to in this thread); they did know the weather combined with the limitations restricted them to a VFR transit without the luxury of an IFR option.
So why did they "deliberately take an aircraft containing your crew, your pax and yourself into such a situation " ?
The quote wasn't mine but belongs to Sir William Wratten. Thats why it was a quote. If I'd had said it then it would have been a statement.
RAFLOO Good point .... why didnt anyone else think of that
