**** happens, if the duchess pilot was on a flight test, he was probably nervous as hell and we all make mistakes, I see this problem everywhere and it ****s me to tears and that is the fact that "professional" pilots have zero tolerance for people who are learning.
That would have to be the most pathetic, moronic and pissweak excuse I've ever heard!
Mate, this is not virtual reality, it's not MS Flight Sim - it's real.
You cannot rewind it and have another go. Nor can you say "Oops, I'm sorry"
Mistakes kill.
Whether the pilot was on a flight test or not is irrelevant; one would expect that anyone flying a twin, had sufficient flying experience and training to be able to perform the most basic of pilot functions like selecting and tuning a radio to the correct frequency and keeping their eyes and ears wide open.
"**** happens".....great attitude, fella
