I read with interest the accident report for G-OHFC.
Respectfully, perhaps someone could clarify something. The report says
that the aircraft to Bodmin Airfield for the annual inspection.
Quote:
<<
and flew to Bodmin Airfield in Cornwall arriving
at 1215 hrs. It was taxied to the maintenance hangar
where the pilots met with the Popular Flying Association
(PFA, now renamed the Light Aircraft Association or
LAA) inspector and the annual inspection was carried
out. Following the inspection the pilots had lunch before
departing at 1330 hrs.
>>
So including lunch that's 1 hr 15 min from touchdown to takeoff.
How could an annual take that short a time?
How would they have taken the wings off for the inspection - unless
maybe they have some means of stabilizing the fuselage?
