I'd like to think in many threads that occupy PPrune, we banter and we learn. Other people make mistakes, so we don't we don't have to, is often quoted.

However, all I've learned from this is, don't be Q.

Yet, he was in the enviable position of landing a squirrel aboard a yacht worth more than an African nation. Like most accidents, they happen close to home or approach, be it approaching a ship, oil rig, or even Battersea

If it wasn't foggy, or if it wasn't shi$ty or if that obstacle was in the in the FMS and if the fuel filter cover stayed on etc, this thread like others wouldn't have started.

We have an accident, but 3 survivors. What SOPs will be drawn from this? Only time will time. It is the F1 circus in Monaco this weekend, so I imagine there will be more yachts and helicopters in action and more deckhands and captains checking their liability for any possible mishaps. Let's hope not.

Cheers FP.
