Jim Ferguson is clearly a self-appointed "Aviation Expert" or I suspect more a fast-replying "Rent-a-quote" when the BBC send a request for information.
This is the same
Jim Ferguson who described TCAS as telling pilots to "Dive Dive" or in answer to a question about why the Russian and European pilots use Metric and Imperial Altimetry respectively and Jim's reply was "just as English is the international language of aviation, feet are used for altitudes" which clearly shows his lack of understanding of the industry.
Why can't the BBC use people with relevant experience to quote on these stories? Aviation has probably the most mis-reported stories seen in newspapers or on the TV. Sure they like the sensation, but the readers or viewers would surely like a balanced report of the story.
My complaint has also gone to the BBC.
