The mate is a CPL holder. Im sure what he says is correct with what happened. Ie. it deffinetly pitched up before banking.
There is a difference between a mere CPL holder & an ATPL holder with a high performance Jet rating.The main thing is we don't jump to conclusions & slag off another professional.Accusing them of lying is unthinkable too.
Cool demeanour & calm thinking is a main critirea in this high risk job.This is when we earn the big bucks that we get (not big enough though)
At the end of the day congratulations are in order for a job well done to the crew.Heard through the grapevine that an ADIRU failure occured (which is quite a major problem) & it was handled well by the crew.Kudos guys.
