SERIOUS INCIDENT: BAe 125-800B, N1310H, Co. Kerry Ireland, 16 June 2015: REPORT 2016-005 | AAIU.ie
This individual levelled off in IMC at 2000ft in an area of high terrain with safe altitudes of 4500ft because he thought FL two zero zero meant 2000ft. Saved by ATC intervention. I have flown both corporate jets and large jet transports and find myself troubled by apparent low levels of experience and ability that seems to permeate the corporate sector and repeatedly show up in accident reports. It is also worrying to be flying airliners around the skies shared with some of these guys. I know the airline sector has it's issues with handling of abnormalities of late and I am sure the vast majority of corporate pilots are highly professional, as I said I was one once. I just feel that with events like a previous near CFIT corporate jet in EIKY, the EGSS G4 localiser take out and many others that pop up in accident reports need some highlighting and debate.
