08/03/2017: A story on ABC’s 7.30 program (7 March 2017) and an article on the ABC news website, “Air safety watchdog clearly failing”, contains inaccurate and misleading claims that require correction.
Firstly, the reports quote Mr Neil Hansford as saying:
"Until a case is resolved, there can be no remedial action taken by the relevant authorities, CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) or the Department of Transport or even private airport operators."
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has commenced a transport safety investigation into the accident involving a Cessna 441 Conquest twin turboprop aircraft near Broome Airport, in northern WA.
