Let's keep this forum reasonably polite.

Pprune used to get very aggressive, and a lot of people left. Some of them were good people. Now it's better, but we still get bad manners occassionally. This is no good for anybody.

Personally I am a bit upset that a thread about a fatal aircraft crash had turned into a bitching competition about ELTs and flight plans. Maybe you should all have a look at this link.

Thank you IRRenewal,

I think you have just expressed what a many of us were thinking.

I spoke to the family shortly before they departed for home, and they came across as very nice people who were enjoying their flying in this part of the world.

So, a bit of respect chaps, and let the AIB sort it out.
