I suspect he isn't telling the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
How do you draw that conclusion? I can't see where the pilot involved made any statement, either in the ludicrous media report or in this thread??
Career ending - should hope not.
Job ending - i hope so.
Accident - no.
Totally avoidable unprofessional conduct - yes.
Is "knocked the prop" an unlikely cause - yes.
Is that judgement based upon full, accurate knowledge of the incident or the inaccurate media report and incorrect assumptions posted in this thread??
I believe the pilot has provided an accurate report to the authorities which is substantially different to the conjecture in the media and in this thread.
Talk about a hanging jury! Give the guy a break, eh?
