I'm not sure why we are spending so much time nit-picking the error of the F-16 pilot as it concerns the Shoreham accident.
Nevertheless, I think once the F-16 pilot had computed the gate height (or shall I say mis-computed it), he apparently flew the maneuver in accordance with the mis-computed value with the unfortunate, but non-fatal result.
I suppose it is worth discriminating between neglecting or over-looking or failing to comply with a gate height with failing to use the correct airfield elevation when computing the value. The lesson learned would be different.
For the Shoreham accident, we have absolutely no way to know - at this time - what the pilot intended, what error he might have made nor why. So, perhaps, nit-picking of the F-16 pilot's error has little value here.
As God saved the life of the F-16 pilot, may He also be merciful to the Hawker pilot. (or shall we debate that too?)
