Where’s the evidence that the student pilot was under the effects or Fentanyl at the time of the crash?

NG5 stated this. He also stated that he is a Bristell owner. Joining the dots considering Fentanyl wasn’t mentioned in the ATSB report... he must have inside knowledge via the aircraft importer, Police or coroner. Not many others would know about it!

That being said, I’m not sure which crash he is referring to as the “first.” It could be the one at Moorabbin that was related to a go-around, or the fatal crash at Clyde where the aircraft belonged to another operator, Learn to Fly, also from Moorabbin.

The Australian agent for Bristell has raised CASA’s handling of this issue with the Commonwealth Ombudsman:

I wonder if Bristell are 'fiddling the books' so to speak to make it look like the type has no Issues!

Can’t see how they can be accused of fiddling the books. Their spin testing has been found to be unacceptable to CASA for unspecified reasons. They are now in the process of having the testing redone by the German testing company approved by the EASA. The latest model the B23 which has a Max weight of 750 kg has already passed and is now a fully certified aircraft . Unfortunately they have a little issue with the Pandemic happening which is a big problem in Europe generally and particularly in the Czech Republic which is delaying things. I would be very surprised if it doesn’t pass the retest.
