They have no income from anything except tickets at the ground.
Food Etc. has no value to them. |

Anyone only used to commercial airliners, or never having been in a light aircraft could use the same descriptions as Sala did.
It's so different to most peoples people's experience of flying, it can look and sometimes feel like the aircraft is "unsafe" in some way.
The thing to bare in mind is that the pilot wanted to have a safe and successful flight, just as much as his passenger did.
With 100s of hours of experience, irrespective of the commercial / not commercial flight debate, he felt the aircraft was capable of making the trip.
At the end if the day, we can only go on what we believe.
Personally, I look for reasons not to fly, and only when there are non I cannot mitigate, do I go.
There is a saying that "take offs are optional, landings are mandatory". |

It's not mandatory to wear a seatbelt at all times.
Sala was obviously nervous of being in a light aircraft, as evidenced by his comments, so would likely have felt safer with his belt on.
A seasoned pilot however, Ibbotson may well have been comfortable without one, or taking it off during the flight.
My "doesn't sit" comment is based in my own policy of never not being buckled up. So on reflection, isn't as implausible as it first sounded, to me anyway. |

I believe that during one of the calls he made, he said he was feeling tired.
Classic symptom, and with most of tbe other known "facts" points towards carbon monoxide (not Co2) poisoning.
What doesn't quite sit right is tbe pilots body becoming separated from the aircraft. |

Can I say, as someone with a little knowledge on such matters, that the fact that CO leaked in to the cabin does not mean the pilot didn't complete a standard pre-flight check.
A hairline crack in the manifold could be enough to cause serious problems, but could easily go undetected.
Doesn't make the aircraft dodgy, either, as I know it can happen on an aircraft maintained to current CAA requirements. |
