Merged: Pacific Blue infringement in NZQN?

[Sand dune Sam]

Anybody with "time" in their log books also knows that you have to tin plate your back side in this job as well..not being familiar with this operation, on the surface it looks like a straight out rule was broken...why was that rule broken?....been flying for 27 years, done plenty of take off in less than ideal conditions in many parts of the world, but every time I have done so I have applied common sense, a regard for the rules and a liberal dose of tin plating of the back side in case something does go wrong..

Having "time" in the log book is no excuse for ignorance..anybody with "time" in their logbook should recognise that...
