Sid - you are just making a tit of yourself.

For me this accident is but clarified.

1. Failure to manage transfer pumps leading to low fuel in both supply tanks. lets at least be crystal on this point - at his fuel state it is pure folly to continue to fly with neither pump switched on. He should have known this. Whatever the contents indications may or may not be, and there is evidence (Low Fuel Warnings) to suggest they were relatively accurate, basic airmanship should have ensured at least one pump was on. His selection of "PRIME PUMPS" on suggests poor system knowledge or at least cognitive failure during switch selection.

2. Failure to respond to warnings of LOW FUEL (recorded by the system computers) possibly due to overexposure in the past caused by poor systems knowledge and poor culture.

3. Failure to apply the Company MLA policy possibly due to distraction or more likely poor culture.

4. Failure to recognise the impending dangers and therefore failure to prepare, respond to and execute a successful EOL.

The evidence found thus far supports the above. I do not want to blame the pilot as accidents like this are usually associated with cultural or systemic failures leading inevitably to the incident or accident.

However, your failure to face the few important facts and available evidence is allowing you and others to utterly distort the issue which in itself perpetuates the obvious existing confusion amongst some of the EC135 pilots posting here and does a disservice to those EC135 pilots who know and manage their aircraft well.
