I recently completed my BFR at Camden. My instructor was Dominic James, hadn't realised who he was until I watched this clip.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Four Corners tonight
Dom James was tow pilot at Keepit in his youth and as such he reached solo in gliders. As was 30yrs ago the Gimley B767 pilot as was Hudson River A320 pilot and 20yrs ago Brad Edwards put out Mayday when Turbo Mooney engine blew up. Brad landed safely but that cost him $3OK for new engine as now it was not an insurance claim. He now has fleet of Citations. Maybe there is a message there for McCormick and his crew and I do know there are a few gliding pilots in high places in CASA these days. My question is why can't a Unicom operator use the HF radio especially at Lord Howe. I love a real person on I recently completed my BFR at Camden.

My question is why can't a Unicom operator use the HF radio especially at Lord Howe. I love a real person on I just read William Langeweisch's book on the Hudson accident. Sullenberger flew gliders at the USAF academy nearly 40 years before the event. He is on record in the book as saying his gliding experience wasn't relevant in the Hudson. I always thought the aim with IFR ops was to always have enough fuel to go to a safe landing place if the weather turned bad at your destination or en route. From what I can gather the Westwind Norfolk op was legal in the strict sense but not a good idea and it or the pilot's thinking may have fallen through the regulatory cracks.
