AndyJWest Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Apparently the pilot sued the local council for allowing the ferris wheel to be erected where it was, in close proximity to the airport. I can't find anything online saying how far that went - could be an interesting case.
CanadaOne Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I'm suing Luse for posting the video. And I'm suing Andy for posting in this thread. I'm suing myself for the same reason. And of course I'm suing the next person to post... because.
AndyJWest Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 As I suggested in another thread, it was getting lawyers involved that screwed up the development of the US aviation industry after the Wright brothers started it all. An age-old problem. Some playwright geezer had the right idea: Quote DICK. The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. ...or at least make them do an honest job instead... 1 1

I enjoy lawyers being around just so I can use the word 'Litigious". It's just fun to say.
Feathered_IV Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Holy crap. That is Taree in Australia! I flew there just last night in FS2020 and happened to notice a Ferris wheel on the way in.
Trooper117 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Don't tell me... you crashed into it! I'd sue Microsoft for that... horrific trauma! 2

That video though - looking at the location of the airstrip why the hell did they put the Ferris wheel there? You can see what looks like the pilot start his left bank after takeoff, see the Ferris wheel and in the heat of the moment try to take avoiding action by straightening up, when by continuing the bank it could possibly have been avoided. As a lawyer who sues people I'd put the pilot and the council in the frame. The pilot for not seeing the thing in the first place (possibly unfair because a white Ferris wheel could fade into a pale background or simply not be registered as a hazard) but the council definitely for erecting a monster hazard at the end of a runway. Madness and sheer luck that nobody died. von Tom 1
Lusekofte Posted October 21, 2020 Author Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) I have seen accident happening because of pilot freeze up or panic. Mostly small to micro aircraft or gyrocopter Bad judgement in a sudden bad situation is one of two things. inexperienced pilot a person that never should have been a pilot might seem harsh, but being a pilot is not a human right, if one is not capable you have to be a passenger instead. And you got the air france second pilot pulling the joystick back in panic equalizing first pilots attempt to prevent stall when pushing the joystick. Some simply should never been pilot Edited October 21, 2020 by 216th_LuseKofte
