Im not going to argue the point as i also believe an investigation needs to be done, and i want to respect the memory of Steven.

However an aircraft approaching from AR would in fact be coming from the west and the easiest way to join for the Bravo approach is via the DME arc, this is where i have seen the most deviations especially situations with my RMI showing 5-10 degrees to go till the inbound while actually sitting on the extended centreline,...

I still flew the approach in IMC as i had seen it many times in VMC conditions and knew the peculiarities. CAA at one point asked for feedback from Taupo based IFR operators re the approach yet when we explained what was happening they still did not do anything.

Anyway we will see what the TAIC come up with.

All my thoughts to the families involved. They are personal friends.
