pmccarthy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I can’t se how to copy a link to this story. Google pilot Murgatroyd. He has been found guilty in the UK of several charges, for overloading his Piper PA140 which crashed. He was a private pilot but being paid to take passengers.

Thruster88 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 You have to feel for commercial operators in general aviation when these "accidents" happen. Pilots like Mr murgatroyed and this guy, https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2017/aair/ao-2017-069/ do tremendous damage to the general publics perceptions of flying in light planes.

kgwilson Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Sounds like a regular dickhead to me. Acting the big hero & then making an excuse he forgot to include his own weight when he did the W&B. He probably didn't do a W&B at all & was more motivated by making a thousand quid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 He was 181kg overweight. ........ must have thought he was a pretty "big" man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 He was charged with, "endangering the safety of an aircraft, endangering the safety of a person, flying without an air operator certificate, acting as pilot without holding an appropriate licence, flying an aircraft otherwise than in accordance with the limitations in the flight manual, operating an aircraft without insurance, and flying without the aircraft flight manual." And this bloke has the temerity to state he's a hero for saving all his pax?? He's the biggest donkey to ever sit at the controls of an aircraft - and I trust the authorities also revoke his pilots licence, seeing as he can't even follow the very basics of piloting an aircraft.

NotSoSuperSonic Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 There's a bloke by the name of Sarah Connor that'd outclass ol'Murgatroyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
