What hope have News got, when even the ATSB has trouble

Spot the mistake (aside from not having been splashed across the news yet)

Turbulence - Boeing 747-438, VH-OGR, Perth Airport, 20 May 2011

During the approach at 2,000 ft, the aircraft encountered severe turbulence and the crew conducted a missed approach. Two passengers were reported to be injured. The investigation is continuing.

Investigation: AO-2011-064 - Turbulence - Boeing 747-438, VH-OGR, Perth Airport, 20 May 2011

VH-OGR appears to have grown from when it was a 767 last month?

No wonder there was turbulence... There were two more engines than the pilots expected!

You ain't kidding, that's one pretty silly mistake for ATSB to make. It's not that hard to check the CASA register.

I've just picked up the phone to CASA to let them know. Person on the end of the dog and bone at CASA sounded more than a little concerned.

Perhaps they had auto-correct turned on in the form they were entering the information into

Interesting side note:

A/C was on final approach with seat belt light on. The two injured pax were reported as "not wearing seat belts".

No comment needed.

Perhaps they read that QF was going to operate 747's to Perth and just wanted to give them some publicity.:mrgreen::mrgreen:

I agree with the sentiment, but it has been widely reported in the last couple of days that the eight survivors of Air India Express 812 did so because they'd unbuckled their seatbelts before landing.

So while having ones seatbelt secured serves an important safety purpose, specially in the case of preventing injuries during turbulence and other upset events, you can't dismiss the outcomes from this instance so easily - best described by the Latin logical fallacy of Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc (after this, therefore because of this)

It is always possible to find an exception the norm!

Sometimes, though, you just have to play the odds. Certainly, before the event, you will struggle to work out whether you are best with them on or off.
