Thanks. I think that adds perspective to the debate. I agree that I have sympathy for the families and I'm pretty upset that they didn't get the ATSB report that they deserved.

The pilot of PGW did many things right and he seems a good, reasonable pilot if not a superhero. A lot of the initial conjecture about fuel issues or shutting down the wrong engine have been disproven. In theory, an engine failure around 15nm out from Bankstown should not have had this result. As a light twin pilot I'd like to understand this accident and learn from it. The ATSB report does not help this.
