Patients husband on board under Australian law, it is still a medical flight, likewise if a spouse travels with their partner in an ambulance it doesn’t become a taxi.
The guts of it again, is inaccurate forecasting, passing incorrect met information, 6000 feet instead of 600, failure to pass deteriorations in weather in a timely faction, gloss over all the organisational short comings, still blame the PIC.
According to ATSB the crew should have joined the dots, but how was that possible when too many dots were missing.
The Qantas\ Virgin Mildura incident should have been a wake up call, ATSB need to grow a set.
