I agree with the last post, I would be fairly confident to say that there would not have been any pressure to get the job done.
CHN don't cut any corners.
Steve was an excellent pilot and I had the privelage of flying with him a few times.
As for the NDB/DME BRAVO app at Taupo, in the last 12 months I must have flown that app about 45-50 times,
The wind onthat day would have been fron the se- guessing as I was there the day before, so he would have been blown away from MT TAHARA, if not holding drift to the left.

Steve was not the sort of guy to take risks, and the company would not have done so to him either.

I also know a couple of things about the crash that alot don't so I hope that when it all comes out those with who jump into ill-informed assumtions of what happened come back and retract their comments !

I also think that people need to keep the coments on the post topic not on the pros and cons of SPIFR.
