Geez Zanthrus, "Judge not, lest you be judged", ring any bells? Ones flying abilities does not necessarily relate directly to ones radio skills, especially not if you're from another country and used to doing it a bit different and still adjusting perhaps?

[QUOTE=StickWithTheTruth;10094905]Clearly this pilot was not versed in Roger's (patent pending) Bonanza anti-lock breaking technique, no doubt required by all the rain Melbourne has had today. QUOTE]

I'd always thought that Roger M's Bonanza experience was such that he wasn't into "breaking" Bonanzas?

obviously was equipped with a well-stuffed wallet! Makes you wonder how many N-reg 340s are for sale in Australia at any one time.

---- a bit dodgy on the radio re his procedures to me. If so not really surprising result.
Folks,
That's it then, a pilot who has substantial international experience, ie: He got this far, hasn't complied with Australia's unique, stilted, pedantic and inflexible often non-ICAO "radio procedures", so he is clearly incompetent, an accident looking for somewhere to happen, according to Zanthrus.
I don't suppose, after all these years, that I should be surprised by this sort of provincial and parochial garbage in Australia.
Tootle pip!!

I remember that well. I’m glad to hear he flew again as there was evidence of some injuries.

Of course he doesn't, I didn't say that. Roger's anti-lock braking technique is for a wet grass runway to AVOID an overrun.

I think you missed the sly dig - in your first post you said anti-lock breaking technique.

If rain and /or water on the strip...what about 'aguaplaning' ie scooting along on a thin layer of h2o , wheels brake stopped or nearly... but the aircraft continues on its not so merry way !

Hi zanthrus, I had the opportunity to speak at length with the pilot when he was in Hervey Bay a couple of weeks ago and I can tell you that your assumptions have no foundation whatsoever.

Hi Kaz - both short ATM - during construction of new taxiway.

The slippery grass can catch you out, it has me! And one of the LIL staff put a Bonanza off the end a little while back, so it can happen to the best of us!

Yes, the dark clay/loams of the Valley on which the grass grows gets greasy when wet and becomes a bottomless pit when very wet. I farmed it for more than 10 years.

I wish they had never turned the cross strip into a taxiway.

With all these "breaking" issues I'm not surprised the "braking" was ineffective.

Not a direct shot at Zanthrus, but the focus seems to be on the wrong areas of pilot training these days. I’m a fan of competency based training when applied correctly, but I’m not sure it is.
The assessment of a pilots ability seems to be based on the quality of their radio calls and the number of bars on their epaulets. The fact a pilot can’t land in a crosswind, is petrified of stalls, taxies against the brakes, starts their aircraft 2m from hangar doors with the slipstream filling the hangar with dust and causing the aircraft in the hangar to collide is old fashioned stuff. Their multiple EFBs will protect them!

I definitely heard a European (German?) sounding pilot in a C340 at YSBK sounding very unconfident (is that a word?) re either radio or procedures out of YSBK or whatever. It may not have been the same pilot as the accident. But I know what I heard!

Happy to be Sledded, If I was wrong in my "assumption" then I apologise.
Everyone make mistakes especially me!

Cheers, Z!

I would probably be too if English was my second language!
