Second reading – Steam On.
P2 – has Manning been 'officially' appointed, or is that just a whisper on the wind? Do we know?
The ATSB report mentioned above is actually dangerous, a very real safety hazard. ATSB should make no bones about dragging aircraft operations back to 'law'. The law is as it stands now is very, very clear about how an aircraft must, not should or may, but MUST be operated in compliance with the manufacturer flight manual. Cessna go to some trouble and expense to get an aircraft certified, many Cessna variants have speed and configuration differences for each Mark and model; defined through the certification test flight process and documented in the Manufacturer Aircraft Flight Manual: (AFM). You need a 'No Objection' from the manufacturer to operate outside the AFM, or you are not only illegal, but at hazard; as demonstrated in the accident mentioned above.
Here we find a flight school promoting not only a one size fits all approach to training, which will set a dangerous precedent in a students mind, one which will remain as a foundation for future 'learning', but also a serious compromise of the AFM, which again, teaches more bad basic habits at an early stage. CASA approve (or accept) those compromises, the ego feed and assumption of 'superior' knowledge being espoused rather than the 'law' and basic common sense. When an accident occurs, as it must under these circumstances, CASA will simply roll back to the legal position and say, quite truthfully, "Oh, the pilot operated outside the AFM, this is illegal, and, if he weren't dead, we would do him as a being not a fit and proper for using homemade procedures".
ATSB should have driven a nail into this coffin, with a vengeance. If Manning is in the job he does know better than this and should not be allowing ATSB to keep generating these slip-shod, inaccurate, dangerous reports. It is wrong, it is dangerous, it is illegal – and that's just kissing the CASA arse; wait until an accident happens, watch 'em duck and weave then.
"What's that you say? – Oh, we've seen that show; is that the one where CASA approved dangerous, illegal practices and walked away Scot free. Ah yes, I remember it now".
So, is Manning just warming a seat and collecting the loot, or not there? Someone has to stop this farce, NOW, not at some point in the future bureaucratic time space continuum.
Toot toot....
