As Gilda Radner use to say its "always something". Its like the Keystone Kops meeting Wrong way Coragan. I don't think a Rad/Alt. would have helped much if at all. It was just one of those things, I think that what ever profit Temsco Made for the season will has been spent on some new,used A-stars. You can bet that one of those pilots was the DO or the Chief Pilot or both. As for FAA action, I don't think much will come of it. There Insurance rates will go up. As for all those involved, think of all the mileage they are going to get out of this at there favorite watering hole. They will most likly have to do some more training with regard to white out. This will be nothing more that some 180 turns to better Vis, Under the simulated instrument conditions. New hire pilots will have to be instrument rated, just like the guys need to be in the Gulf, even tho all most all the flying is VFR and in VFR only certified ships. What this will do is reduce the number of pilots that will be qualified some what. Of course I could be all wet on this and it will be business as usual next season.
