The final report into the Hawkesbury River seaplane crash in Australia has just been published. [1] This also found that the pilot was overcome by carbon monoxide from the plane's engine getting into the cockpit; there are similar cases in the USA here and here, and in the UK here. Although not directly related to the Sala crash, it is interesting that aviation laws in the UK and USA do not make it mandatory to have a carbon monoxide detector in the cabin of a light aircraft, even though it would cost only a few dollars. This is considered to be surprising by regular pilots in light aircraft. [2]
The final report into the Sala crash notes that "CO detectors are not mandated for general aviation aircraft, as from an initial design viewpoint, the requirements for the certification of the aircraft are such that the system design should minimise the likelihood of CO contamination, but the maintenance of sometimes notably highly-utilised airframes and/or their ageing systems means that contamination can occasionally take place. The more widespread use of CO detectors is thus currently down to the pilot/ owner’s discretion." (p60/61) The report also suggested that certain types of piston engine aircraft should have CO detectors, and that regular maintenance of the exhaust should check for damage that could lead to leaks. [3] (p8) The article could say more in this area.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 14:31, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Interesting BBC source here It suggests that serious concerns were raised about David Ibbotson's flying skills and compliance with the rules long before the crash. However, because of the ongoing trial it's probably best not to add this at the moment. Crucially, it suggests that there was at least one previous occasion where David Henderson asked Ibbotson to fill in for him.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:58, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
This is under way and is expected to take five weeks. [6]-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Senior Coroner Rachael Griffin told jurors that the inquest will focus on the arrangements for the flight, the condition of the aircraft and the cause of the accident. ... Sala's brother, Dario, has flown from Argentina for the hearing at Bournemouth Coroner's Court." Martinevans123 ( talk) 17:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
