Reality Star Heli Pilot Has Warrant for Arrest Issued

I said “allegedly” as it was heard from a source, and it depends who you refer to as the “first responders.” The second egg collecting helicopter was first on the scene.

I think it would be the ATSB that would determine that it was out of fuel. CASA couldn’t determine what they had for breakfast if you showed them the menu.

CASA-approved safety management system was not being used to systematically identify and manage operational hazards,”

What a surprise.

​​​​​​​The ATSB also found that CASA delegates removed crucial conditions from crocodile egg collecting authorisations, making it more likely the sling person would be killed if the helicopter’s engine failed.

​​​​​​​There will be some world-class ducking and weaving going on in CA$A.
