Ahhhh! mustering pilots operating in the avoid curve, I have read of accidents along the lines of


Mad cow tried to leap into cockpit ................ac destroyed in subsequent crash.


or


Stones flicked up by frightened stock went into tail/main rotor..........ac destroyed in subsequent crash.

or

xxxxxxx broke/departed ac while at low level ......................ac destroyed in subsequent crash. ATSB determined cause of xxxxx breaking/departing ac due to x,000hrs over and above those recorded in the ac log being the actual airframe flight hrs.


Like most, there are some good un's & some bad un's out there.


A good friend of mine with 1000's hrs of mustering said everyone should do it for a while as it helps get all the testosterone out of the system and they are more restrained thereafter (one hopes ).
