a once-in-an-otherwise-blemish-free 30+ years as a pilot, inadvertant and relatively minor breach of the regs - I read this thread and shake my head!
Forky I hear your sentiments!! Maybe you should of bought a Yak instead of the Bonanza, you may then have got away with doing beat ups of the main drag in YBTL!
The thing that gets me with this whole sordid tale is the more that is revealed the more questions are unearthed...the one with the no apparent involvement of the bureau beggars belief!!
Personally if I'd come unstuck and killed myself in my VH registered Yak I'd expect the recognised experts (ATSB) to be sifting through the wreckage...and hopefully joining the dots to see whether I'd stuffed up or that bloody LAME had left his pesky screwdriver inside the tail empennage!!
