He was CAP403 compliant at the time-however the fact that CAP403 has been updated and tightened in terms of currency suggests that the CAA have decided that the display currency requirements and DA authorities needed tightening.


So maybe they didn't consider 40 plus hours on type in 5 years sufficient to perform this routine after all-or that the DA awarded valid for the Hunter based on a routine in a propeller driven aircraft wasn't quite what's required either?


He went into a manoeuvre too slow-Fact
He missed a height gate-Fact
He failed to realise it-Fact
He failed to address it by pulling out-Fact
He carried on despite everything-Fact
He crashed and was in no way incapacitated as he was clearly pulling like a rigger prior to impact-Fact


So you are contending he was incapacitated 'at some point' during the manoeuvre-When? How? Why? All contention. Speculation. Looking for reasons to explain a clear case of pilot error?
