The conviction yesterday of an experienced pilot following an accident at Jandakot Airport raises questions about the liabilities we face while working. The conviction, according to an ABC news report, was because
'the pilot was negligent for failing to ensure the plane (sic) was safe to fly'. How can a pilot be sure an aircraft is safe to fly with regards to engineering matters? The conviction appears harsh and maybe it should be appealed for all our sakes.
