gulibell, having flown in PNG GPS/TAWS is unreliable for the simple fact that the maneuvers required and the terrain surrounding most strips denies the GPS aerial a constant signal. I had GPS but not TAWS and was trained to use the GPS as another tool in the kitbag not the only tool and certainly not to be relied upon IMC beLow LSALT. As for the pilot only being on type for six months. The hours flown in six months are usually greater than those flown by most pilots(elsewhere in the world) in a year. Also knowing the guys conducting the checking and training on the twotters, there is only one standard. 100% right is 100% right , and 99% right is 1oo% wrong. Very high standards are trained and no allowance is given for lack of ability.
We may never know the facts of the crash, PNG is an extremely demanding/unforgiving environment in which to operate. It takes a tremendous amount of skill combined with courage to operate in this harsh environment.
Instead of sniping at these professional pilots, wait for the facts and perhaps we may all learn from this and make PNG a safer place for lessons hard learned.
R.I.P to all those involved
