The word that leaps from the page at me is discrepancies.
If ever there was a reason for having Licensed Aircraft Engineers being the only folk who can sign off an aircraft, this is it. I am not in favour of that approach, but this kind of thing will make a case for it.
Of course, no changes will get around the Pilot/Owner who will modify the aircraft between inspections.
I've seen car owners who take off their non compliant number plates when going for an MOT, bit that's not life threatening.
How can you square away the photographic evidence with the Pilot's story and LAA inspections of the Prop?
Shades of the Colin McRae crash in this report.
I await with interest, the decision by the COPFS into the question of an FAI and potential prosecutions.
Why the AAIB have not made more out of the weight situation on departure from Trumpton is unclear. How it could fly to Bute and be too heavy on departure but not when it set off is a mystery. The AAIB reckon the aircraft was almost 20 Kilos overweight when it departed Bute, so by how much was it too heavy on leaving Strathaven?
