I’m not quite sure why Lookleft has me pegged as sitting behind a desk. I am interested in how he/she thinks PIC should have responded once at Norfolk Island without fuel to divert. I think the pressure to fly lower and lower on the approach would have been huge. Having flown RPT jets in and out of Norfolk I know both how hilly and remote it is. I don’t think that having flown for Aeromedical or a Westwind makes you anymore qualified to comment on the actions of the PIC being first out. Maybe some survival instinct kicked in and he didn’t think that the doctor could open the door. We can all only hope that we would respond in a certain way, but unless you were there, with water gushing in and lives relying on you - you have no credibility in criticising his actions.
