In my opinion, the primary cause of this accident was CASA's failure to require, and the operator's failure to install and use, proper engine instruments that monitor the EGT and CHT of ALL cylinders, as the JPI EDM-700 and 800 do.
Getting a bit emotive with that one too. For better or worse the aircraft was fitted with the instruments that it was fitted with.
You're joking right? Have you seen how inaccurate the old analog gauges are?
The Whyalla report noted that the company climb power setting and fuel flow. Consider what would be happening to the engine if the old FF gauges (which really arn't fuel flow) were slightly over reading as well. Id say 100/L /engine at climb is no where near enough FF.
