According to the boss - he'd had 1 previous lesson in a C172...
|
Yes he said on the tapes that he had flown a 172 before.

Listening to audio extracts of the student, I smell somewhat of a rat here, mainly based on his supposed previous experience... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-...dakot/11468580 |
I think we’re it sounds like he says “this is my first lesson” he actually says “this is my third lesson”. Then he later says he’s flown a 172 but hasn’t landed it. theres also video of the landing on one of the news sites. |

7 news also reporting that the emergency took place 20,000ft above the ground! Wow, that's a high performance 152!!

I also love it when the media call it "tarmac". |
Kudos due all round! Great effort by student AND ATC Officer.
|
Smell a rat? What? He poisoned his instructor so he could get some publicity? |
Can't be his first solo if there's an instructor in the cockpit with him!

Bull at a Gate. No, I wasn't suggesting anything like that at all! But actually now that you mention it...
It was more some of what he said on the radio that created the seed of doubt for me regarding this being his first or second flight... |
The student was probably an aviation geek who'd been practising calls. That would account for his familiarity with some aspects.
|
He says he is glad he did his homework. He had never landed a plane before.
|
I smell a rat. Not good when I’m asking for a pay rise. Got to be a set up. |

ABC now reporting it was his THIRD lesson. I am still not convinced. |

it seems tome he never panicked at any stage. |
|
I think he does qualify for his first solo when his instrructor passes out so he is on his own. He has done a damn good job getting himself and his instructor down safe and by looking at the video.....he has done it before....Up to you experts. |
It's pretty obvious he's not a complete novice doing something like a TIF but never the less he was calm enough to string it all together -:) |
Geoffrey, are you listening/reading? |
