Sunfish, that is an interesting take on the new report. My understanding is that, for this particular flight, the PIC loaded less fuel than he or any other Pelair pilot had loaded for that leg according to the tabulated data in the report.
To my mind he knew he would not have sufficient fuel for even the slightest deviation from a direct route and straight in approach to Norfolk.
How would the company or CASA have made a difference to this mindset?
