I missed that bit. Reference please.
Not sure about filing a report.
page 12 of the CASA special audit.
On 30/SEP/09 same Capt flew Apia - Norfolk.
Fuel burn was 7200 (8700 at departure - 1500 remaining on landing).
On 18/NOV/09 (the ditching flight), he flew Apia - Norfolk.
Fuel at departure = 7200!
On 5/OCT/09, another Capt (ex-CP) flew Apia - Norfolk.
Fuel burn was 7000.
Unless there is an error in this data, it is amazing he had sufficient fuel for 4 missed approaches before ditching. ATS report states he reduced cruise speed aware fuel was tight, and this may have given him the fuel for these missed approaches.
According to Crikey he was operating on the basis that he couldn't legally land at Noumea. TCAS2 and GPWS had just been fitted to the ac but the pilots had not completed training on these items. The training records at Pelair should be able to confirm or refute this.
