Sorry, knew it was a 402, slip of the finger, corrected that ta.
Totally correct, thanks for that. I was thinking with an airliner brain and was thinking ILS at the end of a IFR flight. Didn't think they might have done it after a VFR sortie. So long since I have done it forgotten it happens!!!! Very much stuck in the IFR world it seems!
As you say, there is nothing but "airmanship" to prevent someone flying across the instrument approach path while outside controlled airspace. Just have to hope it prevails!!!
Thanks for that post, cleared a lot up.
Such an unfortunate accident.
