The author could not even figure out that the ATSB's sister department publishes Australian Design Rules which specifies the maximum height of vehicles as 4.3m not 4,6m as published in the report. When you can get basic details like that right, how can you believe anything else? It completely destroys the reports credibility.

The Cheiftan was low - but which of us wants to cast a stone?
But who in their right mind raises the flap to reduce their descent rate instead of using power? Why is the temperature of the turbos even a consideration on final when you should have some power on in the first place.

The pilot looked down momentarily at the throttle quadrant as they put their hand on the throttle control.
What sort of technique is that where you have to look to see where your hands are relative to the throttles. If you are getting bogged down in trigonometry, road signs and truck heights then I wonder what your reason is for reading the report in the first place. Certainly you don't seem to have any intention in learning any safety lessons.
