Cats may have nine lives - human kind has only one.
From the ATSB - HERE - a good report into a bad accident. Another fatal - VFR into IMC identified as probable cause.
The report is worth a careful read - the opportunities to 'walk away' were many and ignored; the percentage chances of a 'win' slim to none.
I wonder, with the resources and publishing power ATSB has if a 'compendium' of VFR into IMC incidents and accidents could not be compiled and distributed, covering the lastĀ decade of these so avoidable accidents. The cynic in me says preaching to the convertedĀ won't help; but if it saves just one fatal, the effort would be worth work.
Oh, I don't know - but this latest ATSB report clearly defines at least four 'get out of jail free' cards, which were discarded. Sad, tragic even, but nonetheless real for all that.
Toot - toot.
