From The Age
In the most serious of the allegations, Mr Sant is accused of broadcasting the message "Go around", which resulted in a Virgin pilot aborting a planned landing and looping in the airspace above the airport, Melbourne Magistrates Court has heard. The flight arrived 15 minutes later than scheduled.
Looping a 737 - awesome!

Yeieehaaaa

If you did it right you could be lined up on final again and land!

Another case of p!$$ weak magistrates. If they let him out castrate him so he can't breed. Or lock him up for a long time.

I think it should be just left to the criminal justice system, which I'm confident is taking this very seriously. I doubt that he'll get a slap on the wrist.
Welcome to the real world Cooper.

Be lucky to get the slap on the wrist with a wet soggy noodle.

A judicial disgrace once again.

Guys bail doesn't mean he has avoided being punished it just means you isn't being held in prison while the court proceedings occur. You all know that right??

He was granted bail as the judge thought it likely he'd avoid a custodial sentence when it goes before the court.

Wrong. He has been in remand for about a month - which is about the jail time he would get. Remand is no picnic according to policeman I know so Sant has just had a little "taste" of the system. If he is smart, his lawyer will plead guilty, save everyone time and expense, and be convicted and sentenced to....time already served.

I'd like to know what "I have before me a very young man with extremely limited prior convictions" means. What has he done in the past?

Indeed, "extremely limited" is not "no" is it?

Look on the bright side. The Virgin pilot gets to practice a real go-around in the real aircraft. That's one box ticked and saves simulator time at the next cyclic

Someone was at it again this morning on the ground frequency. Unfortunately an on air comment from a legitimate agency was made about his transmissions, which only gave him encouragement to ramp up his tirade.

For anyone on frequency when these events happen, might I suggest that the best response is to totally ignore them and not make any on frequency comment at all. (ie Don't feed the trolls!) By all means report them, just not on the frequency on which they are transmitting.
