Accident in Corowa
I ignore if this has been posted before in the group, but I have just
received this report from a witness. It is about a tragic accident of a motorglider in Corowa, Australia. http://www.aeroclubdeocana.aero/Vani...achmentID=1159 Winter time is usually a good time to make sure, glider and motorglider pilots follow updated check lists for the crucial parts of every flight. Happy new year, Alvaro Jimenez Aguayo. |

Winter time is usually a good time to make sure, glider and motorglider pilots follow updated check lists for the crucial parts of every flight. Happy new year, Alvaro Jimenez Aguayo. I did see the reports about this accident before however I have not seen this appeal by the Corowa Pilots and Operator. I personally feel that some of the item mentioned in this appeal are a bit strange. Every country has a preflight checklist which I am sure contains checks for Flaps and Airbrakes settings before the flight. There is nothing more that can be done in this respect and it is up to the pilot to make sure he carries out these preflight checks in a very conscious way (not just routinely blabbering off the list) Without prejudging what has happened in this particular case it may have been the human factor - 1st on the flying grid and 20-30 impatient pilots behind him???? It may be possible for the manufacturers to introduce some mechanical- electronic warning devices in their planes but if the pilot is rushed or under pressure-stress it is not guaranteed that the correct actions will be taken. There is only one person that can make sure that everything is ok and that is the Pilot himself . This is the part I agree with in the documents that Pilots cannot be reminded often enough about being aware of the dangers. Bruno |
