Interview with rebuild rescue on the Sam ganow crash

[BrendAn]

 

 

The faa report has come out on Sam's crash 2 years ago.

He skipped his preflight and payed with his life.

He was in a rush to catch a commercial flight back after delivering the cougar. The sad part is he was already too late before he left.

You'd have to rate him pretty well up the list for a Darwin Award. There's no forgiveness for shortcuts in flying aeroplanes - especially when that shortcut is to leave out a check for water in the fuel.

With flying you generally make your own luck with the decisions you Make. Nev

It's the common theme of an experienced pilot cutting corners.

Makes me glad to be a learner.

 A disciplined Experienced Pilot doesn't cut corners. Employers like people with experience. Cowboys go somewhere else. Nev

Fair enough but this is a recreational  pilots forum 

I would take it for granted that commercial pilots would be a lot better disciplined.

I didn't mention commercial pilots  People hire instructors/ CFI's. IF you Look at the top  Left, its . " The home of Aviation for ALL Pilots". Nev

It was called recreational pilots forum before.  My mistake.

Cfis and instructors are commercial pilots if they get paid. Anyway I was just making the point that commercial pilots are held to Higher standards as they should be.

I have plenty of time on many and varied basic U/L Planes instructing  etc and am very keen to continue to support it.. A plane is a Plane. Good airmanship is required across the Board  or you are  temporary..  If enough People do the wrong thing it won't help the Movement.. Nev

An aircraft is an aircraft Nev 🙂 and yes I agree, if it flies it should be treated as such. No matter the size or complexity.

You start going on about who employers hire and fire. The topic had no mention of commercial pilots who are on a much higher level of training  and experience than the regular rec pilot.

Every topic I post which I do to keep the forum going ends up in an argument with you.  Then your mate above posts some Wikipedia bullshit about a hand plane For fucks sake.
