hope he doesn't make these kind of miscalculations with his fuel figures, his runway lengths, V speeds, his flare etc etc...
When I read that I assumed you were an aviation enthusiast,not a pilot. A quick look at your previous posts confirmed it.
the judge should of really highlighted this point,
The judge has been on the bench for 15 years and, before that, was a barrister for about 20 years. Every man to his job?
because a large part of a pilot's work is good calculations.
I assume the judge realised that the type of calculations to which you refer are of a very different nature.
But there is also a case for making an example of someone who breaks the rules??
Sometimes yes, but only if there's a need to do so.
eg When an offence is prevalent and there is a need to pass a deterrent sentence.
