212: The article reports that Carson (the two individuals involved) fiddled the performance charts and figures for their aircraft, so as to win the contract. In so doing, these two individuals then passed this 'duff' data onto the pilots to work with. The a/c was almost 4000lbs overweight when it took off!!!!
Now I wonder why it subsequently failed to clear the trees during its transition to fwd flight
I can't for the sake of me understand why GE were fined? Where does it officially record that the engine(s) were dodgy also.
Both these men should be sent down for decades after what they did. And yes let this be a message to all others of this ilk: You will be found out and you will suffer the consequences........
Appalling set of circumstances finally coming to an end........
