Those of us who fly in civvi street don't have the 'luxury' of a caravan controller. Personally, I complete four separate gear checks on both visual and instrument approaches. I haven't had a wheels up, yet.
Sure, the backup system (caravan) seems to have failed in this circumstance but I think airpolice is being a little harsh with his iPhone comment and Run
away (Freudian?) controller post which seems to have a bit of a personal, barbed tone. Maybe we should wait and see the 29 BOI recommendations.
