Forced Landing Marree 14/11/2010

[Rose_Thorns]

Piss poor training etc

= Piss poor performance.

A couple of 'hard' facts for the bar room barristers.

a) Departed with a crook mag.

b) Mag fixed.

c) Conducted run up - mag problem noted and heard by 'other' airmen.

d) Took off any way.

e) No trouble check conducted.

f) Landed in a creek bed (in a f234g creek bed out there) with Dunlop's down. It beggars belief.

g) Ignored a fully serviceable bituminous road 1.5 off track.

h) Even in 1976 there was never, not ever a claim made that a brand new aircraft could make it OEI, except to the crash site!!.

Who taught them this rubbish and more to the point, who signed them out to line???.

Trouble check (spark, fuel or air). Rule 101.

Forced landing preparation . Rule 102.

Don't launch with a crook mag, lesson 99 pre solo .
