But there is more than enough evidence to establish that the pilots were briefed for a track direct from Cape Hallett to McMurdo Station
I call Bullsh!t on that one.
The flight plans prior to the last flight were down McMurdo sound.
Great simulator training there.
Real life will be "A"; lets do a simulator session for "B".
I think most of us have worked out by now that a major factor in the accident was the company changing the final waypoint and not telling the crew.
