As a former member of the casa staff you of course would not have implemented any unnecessary regulations at all. One wonders how much of what you place in words is not in fact a return serve to casa and not really reality to facts.

Well done Lead Sled and Lead Balloon for trivializing this accident just to push your pathological hatred of all things CASA. Not the time or place-idiots.

The “idiots” are the people who come out of the woodwork and speculate.

(And Conedrod, I have never “implemented any unnecessary regulations”.)

Rationalise as much as you want LB your post was trivial, irrelevant and just you being a smart arse on the back of a fatal aircraft accident, same with LS.

I’m not rationalising anything. We have a difference of opinion. Welcome to PPRuNe.

Personal insults

One would presume that most taking time to comment would have enough sensitivity to not engage in petty slanging others. Apparently I assumed incorrectly. Grow up and have some respect for those lost.

No, just perhaps by desisting from using the forum to throw insults back and forth at one another, especially in a case involving fatalities such as this one.

First insult thrown by.....?

Perhaps S’ingTFU ‘in a case inolving fatalities such as this one’ would be a good idea.

I take it that advice only applies in accidents where you have a personal interest LB? Didn't take me more than 60 seconds to find several examples of you weighing in with your usual finesse and where there were fatalities. STFU indeed.

Lookleft,
Did you personally know Grant?
I have/had known him for many years, nothing Lead Balloon or I originally posted would have worried him one iota, indeed he would have probably agreed with the sentiments.
Tootle pip!!

One thing that fascinates me (during my 53 years of GA experiences) is that we are invariably amiable to one another when flying. That's a rather good thing.

Discussions on PPRuNe are sometimes otherwise.

Please cite “several examples” where I’ve speculated on cause.

I think you’ll find that in the Mount Gambier community service tragedy case I asked a question about fuelling arrangements at Mount Gambier. As far as I recall, that’s it.

But I’ll stand-by for you to cite the threads.
