In keeping with
The Australian's propensity for dishing up largely confected pap on its Aviation pages, today we're treated to Ean Higgins'
ATSB report ‘may have prevented Essendon plane tragedy’. Higgins reports that Dick Smith contends that;
- IF the ATSB had have promptly finalised their investigation into the near-collision and operational event involving Beech Aircraft Corp. B200, VH-OWN and Beech Aircraft Corp. B200, VH-LQR, near Mount Hotham on 3 September 2015, and
- IF they had found that Max Quartermaine was at fault, and
- IF they had subsequently revoked or suspended Quartermaine's licence, and
- IF the cause of the recent crash of VH-ZCR was due to pilot error
THEN everyone would have lived happily ever after.
