Don, what "unsafe practises" do you speak of? The Archerfield operation is no tin pot hobby farm 1 flight a week school from west of the range! It is a commercial operation and provides many in the industry a start. It would have t be the biggest RAAus school in the country, by far. I'm sure that they've done very well indeed keeping the failure rate down to just that with thousands more hours/sectors flown in jabiru's than anybody else in recent history??What is more of an issue here which hasn't been mentioned is the perception of unsafe practices that people will have of the RAA operation at Archerfield. Yes this has been the second crash with this aircraft but they have also had another making three incidents. The pilot used his training, skill and a huge amount of good luck to manoeuvre the aircraft to a successful landing (any landing you can walk away from is supposed to be OK, right?) but really, is their operating regime flawed? For instance, using mogas in an aircraft where weather conditions could increase the risk of carby icing or was it a case of having too much air in the tanks? Comments locally at Archerfield seem to support the later, so was proper flight planning carried out to ensure enough fuel carried for flight and reserves?Have you got any proof/evidence of your claim, or is your ego writing cheques your body can't cash!....

Was the different PIC actually a licenced PPL holder with the correct design feature endorsements and a current medical certificate, or was he just a certificate holder?
