According to the report, this pilot was actually allowed to fly, but not to carry passengers. That's unusual if true.
However, he was convicted and what a naughty boy he was to go and rescue someone, tut, tut.....
Now, as an ex SAR pilot myself, I've been on quite a few "proper" flight safety courses in my time and held the post of flight safety officer so that's me vindicated.
So how do I send a contribution to the fund to help pay Dave's fine?
