Your not worth replying to so i wont an all the pm im getting speaks for its self. Btw in my way. And what you taken up the rear for the other two now . Cant they speak for themselves
What was this thread about again?
I thought it was about a tragic fatal aircraft accident involving a respected competent experienced pilot, with long experience flying a well maintained multi engined aircraft, into a familiar field into which he flew regularly.
I believe there will be a lesson for me in the investigation.
My sympathy to the family and friends of the two who were taken in the accident.

Not saying is a factor in this.
I have seen over the years a few of the flexible hoses in that aft fairing that go tick tick the wrong way around. That only becomes an issue under certain conditions and attitudes.

I can't believe how rude many of you are towards someone whom is clearly dyslexic, it's very disappointing to see in this day and age. Attack the post for its' content guys, not the poster. He's only responding in defence to your attacks.
Seeing that the point of this thread was lost about 2 pages ago, for anyone interested Grant's funeral will be held in Sydney at Uniting Church, 10 Clanwilliam Street, Willoughby on Friday 17 November at 1:00pm followed by a private cremation.
On-site examination of the wreckage, surrounding markings on trees and the ground indicated that the aircraft impacted terrain in a steep nose-down attitude and banked to the left. The aircraft was in a landing configuration.
The left wing had separated outboard of the left engine, and both the wing-tip pods had separated from the wings. The remaining fuel tanks were also breached and no fuel was found, however a smell of aviation fuel was noted by emergency responders at the accident site. There was no evidence of fire.
Examination of the engines and propellers indicated that the left engine was producing no power and the right engine was likely producing low power at the time of the accident.

The lesson to be learnt at this stage, I would suggest, is that monitoring the fuel distribution in a light twin should be given a higher priority in a pilot's workflow.
From the report. “ Documentation for the aircraft’s prior maintenance history, including fuel gauge calibration, was not available”
Surely this could be relevant to the investigation and would warrant more explanation as to why this documentation was not available.
