I don't accept that there is acceptable evidence that the refuelers claim is accurate . It's easy to make a comment like that after everyone in the aircraft are dead.
It's clear that the pilot made numerous errors that contributed to the accident. None of these were the fault of the passengers.
I believe if the RAAF flight planning restriction is removed from ERSA there will be less chance of this type of accident repeating itself.
Why didn't anyone tell the pilot when he turned and flew west from CRAVEN that he was heading in the wrong direction? I know - he wasn't the responsibility of either the RAAF ATC or Sydney ATC so it wasn't their jobs to tell anyone !
That's no doubt why BASI made no recommendation that the radar be used in future to prevent this type of accident.
Concrete minded investigators I would say. I will ask again - did BASI make any safety recommendations at all?
