Call me picky, but I’d really like to know:

- what assertions of fact made by Mr Davies and Mr Aherne are incorrect

- what calculations done by Mr Davies and Mr Aherne produced the wrong result

- what analyses of the regulatory requirements by Mr Davies and Mr Aherne are wrong

- what logic used by Mr Davies and Mr Aherne is a fallacy.

My summation (which could be wrong) of their analysis is that even if the PIC of NGA could legally have uploaded full fuel (which they say he might not lawfully have been able to do), he still ends up with insufficient fuel to make it to somewhere else after being unable to land at YSNF.

I do note that neither Mr Davies nor Mr Aherne asserts that the PIC made no mistakes. Quite the opposite, on my reading.
