Coastal Aviation Introduces New Qualifications For Bush Captains

As a result of its 2 recent accidents Coastal Aviation has, with immediate effect, introduced new experience levels for Captains flying to bush strips, a requirement for safety pilots on all flights and line checks every 2 months for bush Captains. These will have an impact on commercial operations with more restrictions on payloads on many routes, but Coastal doubtless hopes operational safety will be improved and public confidence will be restored.
No causes of the fatal accident in Ngorongoro area have yet been established. It would be interesting to know if Coastal has any sort of FDR fitted to its fleet and if not, whether it will now start.
The company is also commissioning a top-down independent audit of all its operations in addition to the official AIB investigation.
