I also note that from his fuel calculations that the estimated fuel at NFI was 709lbs! The recently released report has the fuel at ToD NFI as 1360lb. So much for Mr Richard J Davies assumptions.
Indeed they do Lead Balloon but for some the facts do not fit the narrative so are therefore to be rejected.
So ATSB’s calculations are an objective truth, and it therefore automatically follows that Mr Davies is incorrect? That’s what’s called a mere “appeal to authority”.
All of the parties, including the ATSB, were tainted by interests other than those of safety. Everybody knows why.
