Kokoda crash prompts major safety improvements
...The aircraft operator has taken extensive proactive safety action in
response to the risk of inadvertent flight into cloud while employing
visual flight procedures...
Now they just need to do the same for terrain
Investigation: AE-2009-050 - Controlled flight into terrain - 11 km south-east of Kokoda Airstrip, Papua New Guinea, 11 August 2009, P2-MCB, De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300
Sorry guys i'm sympathetic to the problems of operating in the new guinea highlands but enough is enough. I have memories of clinging to the webbing trying to stay between the floor and ceiling of a Dakota in the late 60's and nothing really seems to have changed. Same ole problems same ole lessons to be learnt (and they where not new lessons even then)
Good to see that people are at least considering 21st century technologies, GPS, GPWS, Synthetic Vision etc
