So why did the pilot get dismissed? The report suggests that CASA was deficient in not knowing how to interpret their own Part 61 requirements and the RFDS was deficient in not incorporating the change to the false fire detection warnings. Basically if the pilot had ignored the warning and just landed then he would still have a job with the RFDS! Clearly a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Did the B200 that crashed at Essendon have a similar fire warning system and did that pilot also not shut down the engine properly.It seems as though the King Air has quite a few traps for young and old players.
