Questions questions questions
CVR not working? Ok. Simple statement. Reason for it not working? Dunno. Are the ATsB pushing that line further? Any prior maintenance records available on the Box? Would be interesting to know as a contributing factor/potential root cause of the accident may be a catostrophic electrical failure of some sort?
This accident is becoming a little more intriguing. A supposedly capable pilot, serviceable aircraft, no major weather issues, preliminary investigations say the engines were working fine (however that is only the preliminary investigations), a deeper look will be needed. Then we have a large yaw to the left. A couple of things could have caused that. Fuel quality? Weight and balance? Eyewitness statements that she appeared to to use up a slower/longer takeoff roll. Have they used CCTV to time the takeoff roll and analysed that against the aircraft type as well as passenger and fuel weight for that particular flight? Who were the eyewitnesses who provided the takeoff roll statements - Kingair pilots, ground crew or Geoffery Thomas doing some plane spotting? Have the ATsB done fuel dips and finalised that analysis? How was Max's health leading up to and on the day of the accident - head cold, ear ache? Slept well the night before and in fact several days before? Good eyesight with no recent changes to spectacle strength? External pressures - finances good, business strong, family life ok?
My ramblings.
