TFU rego given to another a/c in YBCS
I was disgusted to learn recently that a local operator in YBCS had requested and CASA deemed it appropriate for them to register their C404 as TFU.
I do understand that the registration of an a/c involved in a fatal accident will eventually be available for use, and during my enquiries into this have been told by CASA it is made available as soon as the investigation is complete.
But to issue it just after 3 years from the LHR accident and to an a/c flying out of the same airport that TFU was based at is reprehensible. Those of us that work in the industry and lose family/friends in a/c accidents should not have to endure it thrust into our faces like this.
I believe CASA should put an exclusion period on the re-issue of registrations after fatal accidents. As of today's date, there are 2648 available registrations on CASA's website, so there is no shortage to justify the release of this rego.
