Forced landing at Salford, Manchester Plane crashes yards from M62 just after take-off from City Airport in Salford - Manchester Evening News
|
Taken off in poor conditions |
I'm certain everyone here is relieved that this accident only resulted in bent metal and hopefully light injuries........
But.... Take a look at this advert... Flight Share ? Shares for sale | City Airport and Heliport Then notice the registered owner on "G-INFO" The Turks and Caicos Islands ?? A bit exotic for Eccles and Salford :rolleyes: Very sad that the operator is now two Cherokees down in 4 years. |
More like 4!
Airfield was closed yesterday due to being waterlogged, Glad to hear every one is ok. |
"Airfield was closed yesterday due to being waterlogged, "
The Newspaper did say the plane "ditched" in the field. |
Force landing, and they all walked away. When the engine fails, the aeroplane now belongs to the insurance company. Your objective is to walk away from the crash! |

Clicking that link, just now(09:30z 10/09) states that the advert is 'Pending, prior to approval' (or very similar). That suggests it has been pulled by someone, given the a/c in question is now u/s! The name of the person involved would perhaps be familiar to people in the north-west. |
Robert Murgatroyd is the owner of the Pa-28 involved in the Barton incident.
Google 'G-BBBK' and 'G-BBEF' for details of two previous fatal accidents to aircraft owned by Murgatroyd - he doesn't come across as a particularly responsible operator. |

Who I understand was also the pilot ! |
And familiar to the CAA too.
The next sentence will contain the words 'book' and 'throw'. |
Some people are made of teflon !

'Greedy' pilot, 52, is found guilty of 'grossly overloading' his plane with birdwatchers to make a £1,000 profit on flight to Scottish island of Bara that left three injured when it crashed
The court also heard Murgatroyd has a previous conviction from 2014 for flying an aircraft without a valid ceritificate of airworthiness. He denied endangering the safety of a person and an aircraft, flying without the relevant licence, failing to comply with insurance regulations plus three other charges under the Air Navigation Order 2016 - but it took a jury at Manchester Crown Square just under three hours to find him guilty of all counts. Murgatroyd will be sentenced on March 15, and was granted bail, but prohibited from piloting or co-piloting any aircraft. He was also ordered to live and sleep at his given address. Judge Michael Leeming told him: 'The counts are significantly serious to cross the custody threshold, and the likelihood is you will receive a lengthy custodial sentence.' 'He accepted that he had not weighed the passengers or asked them for their weights. But he worked on the principle that if they fitted through the door then they could fly with you.' |
The Daily Mail says cost sharing the pilot must not be the owner of the plane. Is that right? I think if not the owner then the normal hire fee can also be shared. If the owner only direct costs can be shared.

No AAIB report? |
I can't find an AAIB report either - can't think that publication would have been delayed?

Is it possible the AAIB were never informed? Where no one is hurt it is usually down to the pilot to submit a report by post. |

Where no one is hurt it is usually down to the pilot to submit a report by post. Injuries were sustained, including broken ribs - see the link in your earlier post - and the accident is the subject of both AAIB and CAA investigations. |

Ah, so obviously no risk of flight, then. |

He is a serial offender and in this case has been found guilty on all counts. From the CPS website:

The lack of any obvious AAIB involvement in this crash landing is somewhat strange given the non fatal injuries sustained. Perhaps RM did notify the AAIB? Police & CAA according to reports carried out the investigation & interviews. AAIB behind the scenes must be a distinct possibility? No doubt once the dust has settled after 15 March, an explanation will be provided by the authorities and an AAIB report will be published. The dots will eventually be joined up.... |

While this one has taken longer to emerge than most, that's probably a by-product of the police involvement and the court case. |
Hands up if you think the current application of "cost sharing" rules will shortly be taken out, dusted down and subjected to the same sort of compliance standards that are de rigueur in many other industries.

Quite how it has been allowed to get to this position is beyond me. Or maybe certain "influencers" with their hands in the honey pot? But then I'm a confirmed cynic! ;) |
Was this a Wingly flight?

Was this a Wingly flight? Plenty of info in the PF forum on another thread. Point is with two flights now splashed all over the media re "cost sharing", I suspect the CAA will have no choice but to wake up and get real. Once they have sorted out brexit, that is. Quite how it has been allowed to get to this position is beyond me. |
Does the CAA have any responsibility for the current cost-sharing rules? I thought they were EASA rules.

EASA creates the rules with all the stakeholders like the NAA's and other parties that want to have a say like AOPA, unions, etc. The delegated authority, reads in this case the UK CAA, is responsible for enforcement.
The consultation was flawed in many ways - I didn't respond to the consultation because the "cost sharing" rule change was proposed to allow fellow pilots, club members and friends to share costs (nothing wrong with that I thought). The CAA wrote a great deal during the consultation and even well after the law was passed emphasising the "cost sharing" rules that I've just mentioned (I've got screenshots of all) - Suddenly, third party agents such as Wingly etc appeared employing PPLs to fly the general public who had bought flights and gift cards from their website - Gift cards can also be bought and given to people/third parties who had no idea (probably the same as the purchaser) what Cost sharing, PPLs etc etc all means. So like SALA they were unable to assess the safety aspects of the flight accurately for themselves i.e. whether they wished to take the risk associated with flying with someone who has 55 hours total time or with a commercially licensed AOC operation. Sadly, it wasn't long before the CAA did a complete 180 by removing the advised restrictions and towing the EASA party line. |

Norman Stanley Murgatroyd, you have been found guilty of the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts crashing an aircraft as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you for the maximum term allowed for these offences. You will go to prison for......(fill in the blank tomorrow)

Murgatroyd
Sentenced today for 3 1/2 years
