Fine for deviation in Noise abatement procedure, who pays?
Out of LSZH, crew climbed too shallow
on departure. In the end, a fine of 10'000 CHF had to be paid for failing
to follow the published climb procedure. The flight concerned was in an AOC, the Company wanted the commander to Pay the fine. He refused and now they are going to Court. I'm wondering how far the commander's responsibility is stretched in such cases?
