Ada Elle Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Unlicensed, too many POB, and at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyflyer Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Whenever I and my mates made decisions to do something silly late at night, there was always a common factor, and it wasn't red cordial! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barramundi Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 indeed a very sad read (without being direspectful)! makes me think though, what human factors are involved here. why would the pilot put himself and the lives of others in such a situation considering his unlicensed/no medical and very low time in such an aircraft and no flight plan filed. i wonder what was happening during those rapid decent and claims!

Kiwi303 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 given the ages... one thought that popped into my head was drunken mile high club outing with a distracted driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon500 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Maybe both of the above, with some experiments into zero G 'entertainment' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree there, live chicken sounds like a good option. Reminds me of a time many years ago in Hall's Creek, WA. We had a Cessna 206 and the boss was talking for days about how the five of us with all our bags and swags would pile in and fly home. When the day came, all the gear was crammed in the back, the 18 stone pilot got in with his 20 stone dad beside him. Next row back was the 17 stone mechanic and another 14 stone bloke. When I squeezed my 12 stone in the back, the plane tipped backwards and sat on it's rear. So then I got out with my gear and someone else's gear and volunteered to take the bus home. Later on, the pilot told me they only just cleared the terrestial obstacles taking off from Tennant Creek, even without myself and the extra gear, due to the heat. I arrived home about five days later very much alive. Cheers, Willie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who know what would have happened if you had stayed on board? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
