411. Ansett had a check captain who put a Friendship on its roof at Launy Tasmania many moons ago. Pitch Lock on descent, overcooked approach with (late) attempted go-round---or something???

The big wheel was given a spin and he was----------PROMOTED.
Par for the course, in my experience.

It has always amazed me that some folks want to do with the aeroplane something for which it was not designed...or, to put it another way, how hard is it to actually fly the airplane according to the manufacturers instructions?
From some of the accident statistics...apparently, quite a few.
These few folks are right and truly...silly fools.
Or, if you like, a**holes.
