Happy Landing
The point wasn't whether the pilot in the hotel case failed to carry out a sufficient recce. He admitted that. The only points I was making were the CAA's barrister said in court that someone was blown 20 feet through the air by a Twin Squirrel
(read the link thread) and, secondly, that Old Heliman was confusing 'no blame' MORs designed to improve air safety / learn from mistakes with CAA investigations which are designed to see if there's enough evidence to prosecute the pilot. The latter is certainly not a 'no blame' procedure.
We have everyone from beginners to old hands on this forum. My only concern was that less experiened pilots shouldn't be misled by what Old Heliman said.
