It seems Money Money Money is what its all about.
I suppose if Basair spend more $$ on fixing the a/c instead of doing all the advertisement. It would save them alot of trouble !?!

Aerocom, unfortunately you're dead right on that one. Sad to see that a relatively big school treats their customers like the maintenance on their planes.
Ready2go..your last sentence is also on the $$ (excuse the pun). Unfortunate....great instructing there, but when it comes to dealing with people they've got no idea. I wouldn't send my dog to train at that "school".

Pilot error a bit wide...
Well, I have an issue with the whole "Pilot Error" thing!
I had a crash, engine failure after take-off simulation which during the overshoot, turned into the real thing.
What happened? My student turned the fuel off.
So - Pilot Error or Engine Failure? Technically I was PIC but I was NOT the one who turned the fuel off, so who's error was it?!

Hate to be an alarmist but:
THERE WOULD NOT BE ONE FLYING TRAINING ORGANISATION IN AUSTRALIA THAT IS NOT DRIVEN IN SOME WAY BY $$$! Simple truth is that's why they do it..............end of story!

The guy from Sydney Sky divers who was first to the scene found the fuel selector in the OFF position...in the middle. There is no 'both' on this one. Guess they'd been flying a 182 most recently and didn't bother to check the difference

You were pilot in command and YOU were solely responsible for the operation and safety of the aircraft during flight time
I wonder why he turned the fuel off and why you didn't notice and correct it?

FYI I can confirm that the fuel cock was turned off
FYI I can confirm that the Cessna 152 model with the ability to seat 4 pax is indeed known as a C172
FYI I can neither confirm nor deny the aircraft suffered an EFATO
Why do I know this?
I turned the cock off myself as I commenced the investigation into the accident plus I wait for engineering reports plus I don't speculate like certain others plus I don't begrudge a good company from attracting customers who recognise a good operation.
If you have a beef about an operation, be a man/woman and front the Chief Pilot privately, he can even do your MECIR renewal and heaven forbid, you might learn something
