Australian Air Holidays Norfolk Island

On Norfolk Island, after four abandoned landing efforts due to low clouds, Capt. Dominic James and co-pilot Zoe Culpit threw the aircraft into the oceans, where it crashed into fragments and quickly sank to the seabed at 48m. As the six on the boat wonderfully managed to survive the trench, two were injured permanently, among them Mrs Casey, a nursery school teacher at CareFlight.

He found that his pre-flight plans did not contain many items necessary to reduce the risks of a long-haul trip to a secluded island. This includes miscalculation of the overall demand for fuels, failure to calculate the additional demand for fuels for aircraft cancellations, failure to obtain pertinent predictions for higher wind levels and failure to obtain the latest information on possible alternative aerodromes.

Criticising Mr James, the James Quecedo Group' s opinion, the Independent Airlines Sydney Regional Express company' Regional Express' airport security department has made no assurance that there is enough petrol on the flight to distant destinations or solitary sites. Pel-Air's missing checklist contained "no specific demands on aircraft fleet planning" or official instruction for flight scheduling, no method of calculating the overall propellant to be inspected by another competitor, and "little or no evaluation of a competitor's capability to plan fuel".

And because outpatient air travel was considered an "aerial job" and not a charters flight, it was less demanding than other airlines.

Likewise, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority had provided little information on how to manage fuels during the flights. Whilst the pilot actually dropped the aircraft without losing any lives, the detectives said that they were not discussing the possibilities of landing efficiently, checking their refueling or considering other contingency plans.

In this study, the civil air transport authority's refusal to make "critical documents" available to the air traffic control authority was also judged "dull".
