A pilot I know was holding, awaiting some time for him to clear the runway and didn't think he would make it past the end of the runway.
I have no reason to disagree with you Perspective, however I'm just thinking that at that climb rate, he would have struggled to make it to the alleged 3,300 ft by the crash location.
It all seems a little strange. Surely if the climb rate was that bad due to the engine missing, you would return to the field?
Interesting that the re-fueller has said that "2 weeks" ago this happened, but his family said that his last flight was a month ago as he was away.
I'd hate to have to be a cop or ATSB and wade through all of this. He said, she said
