He said Mr Hotchins was an experienced pilot but the ATSB had found he had a history of conducting similar landings at higher than accepted speeds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did the ATSB identify this history?
Was it obtained from readings of the FDR after the accident?
Was it obtained from pilot reports AFTER the accident? If this is the case, then WHY did these pilots not report it earlier - BEFORE the accident? Reporting such incidents to CASA might not have achieved much BUT reporting them to the employer might, just might, have alerted someone.
Re TAWS: Why did CASA extend the deadline to have TAWS fitted? Who in CASA approved such extension?
It is obvious that the aircraft flew into terrain. Just why is the question? Will the design of GPS approaches be questioned?
