A Twin of that value as a primary trainer!! that's almost as mad as using a PC-9 as Basic trainer and then putting them into the Cessna once they graduate.
I was going to laugh, but it's so sad that it's true.
The IAC culture was
pronounced as very sick after the Daupin crash, sadly on the
first day of operation as Corsair pointed out. Lessons weren't learned.
The
PC-9 crash occurred. The culture was still not right unsurprisingly.
I'm so relieved that at least this time there are no dead IAC pilots to prove again that the IAC are still not getting things right. I don't criticize the front line pilots, they are not being protected as they should.
Take this "service" off the IAC and give it to a competent civilian contractor who can recruit openly and who are not impeded by having to train pilots from scratch. They weren't up to running SAR and they are not up to running HEMS.
