The people defending this guy on here have no idea about safety and risk management or any appreciation of what 'Just Culture' is and should be kept as far away from aircraft and aviation as possible. The guy was wilfully reckless and negligent, failed to comply with regulations, lied to authorities and endangered several lives in the process including his own. If you understand and believe in Just Culture, he deserved to have the book thrown at him, no ifs, and or buts. End of. Well done CASA.
