Just curious.
Despite language...
understandings and misunderstandings aside...
whose flying the aeroplane?
ATC or the designated flight crew?
If this aircraft and crew were required by ATC, Customs, some huffy VIP...whatever, would completion of a normal circuit to a normal landing not have been safer?
I'm also curious to know why a corporate operation flying multi million dollar aircraft for a presumably 'highly paid, responsible for 1,000s of employees and multi million dollar deals' CEO doesn't know his/her ACTUAL weight?
One last question, has the flying of aeroplanes truly been left to a bunch of trained 'monkeys' as several friends so regularly and insultingly point out?
Curious minds wish to know.
