Chinook
Seldom. Sorry about that; something wrong with my PC or yours. Since my PM was lost, what I said in it was that of course no-one knows exactly what happened during that flight, just to give one example, what conversations took place between the two pilots?. But the one thing we do know (without any doubt whatever) is that at waypoint change the crew had already broken the airmanship rules governing flight either in VMC or in IMC. This was the negligence.
A question for you, though it deals with the probable reason the crew 'got it wrong' (see Gpt Crawford's letter) and certainly does not explain the earlier breach of rules: have you studied Annexes J and K to the MOD Response to the Mull Group submission, showing the intended track and the actual track, and the consequent difference in the height of the hill ahead? What do you make of that?
With all good wishes as always, JP
