NTSB

ha 2close,

I heard of the Tallahassee accident. I read the peace yesterday.
The NTSB conclusion is rather strange. They believe that de FO's colour weakness is the biggest cause of the crash. But that is not certian. The Capt. en SO told the NTSB that they also saw a positive PAPI. The only difference is that they saw it as white, pink, red, red and the FO saw it as white, white, red, red.

And because the weakness of the FO is the only realistic thing to blame, he is the bitten man! The pilot passed the Falant and failed 7 other tests. Ok thats something to consider. But the milliondollar question is??

why did the other 2 pilots also saw a positive papi indication?

This man has a flying history for more than 20 years.
Nobody ever doubt about his ability. Why should this be his misinterpretation? I think the statement of the other 2 pilots is vital in this peace. But thats my vision.

I will ask the JAA about a CPL. I would like to become a FI.
With a CPL thats possible. Although is only for ppl at daytime I would like to do that. It is a nice way to earn your money and you improve your flying experience.

Good luck to Ya'll

Greetzz
