I wonder to what extent the unofficial cargo was a factor in his failure to make a diversion
Class C drugs include cannabis, anabolic steroids, benzodiazepin and some amphetamines – not the sort of materials that appear on the average GA cargo manifest.
To carry such materials illegally could result in a two-year prison sentence. The sentence for supply or intent to supply is a maximum of 14 years imprisonment plus a fine. This could have created a powerful variation of the “get-on-home-itis” syndrome.
Lot of self induced pressure in that cockpit.
Some folk must think SB and Customs were born yesterday.
No sympathy.
