AMEand PPL
As stated the poor bloke died literally within a couple of days of the request so probably could have died in the flight especially in a non pressurised twin flying at 10000 feet.
The relevance to this forum is more in the responsibility of the Captain of an aircraft to passengers who have known medical problems.
ie a PPL takes a man and wife flying the wife is in an advanced state of pregnancy. The Pilot knows this and something happens in the flight where the woman looses the child?
Or a friend has a very sick friend and asks a PPL to take him/her for a flight to get them out and brighten them up. Something happens on the flight due to altitude, turbulence or whatever.
Could that PPL be sued by the relatives for not meeting that duty of care by taking the sick person on the flight ??? or by accepting the flight does the sick person accept the consequences of taking the flight?
