Someone needs to make this ignorant b@stard famous. VIP Jet Captain Brent Coleman is an accident investigator now? He seems to know exactly what happened. You see, he knows the ujet ownership, so what he says must be the way it is. He also knows their insurers. Hmmm. So he knows each entity that the underwriter uses to spread the risk? Sure Brent. You letter impressed all of us!!!!
In a separate statement, Captain Brent Coleman, the chief pilot with an executive jet charter service, who has logged over 30,000 hours of flight time, offered his views on this accident in an email message sent on Tuesday, July 17, 2012. His remarks follow:
"Hello. I am an International VIP jet Captain/Chief Pilot. Le Castellet is one of our frequent stops. Very nice facility and long runway. Knowing the Ujet staff and ownership, even their insurer, I must say this has to be placed first at the hands of the Captain. High performance jet procedures will allow for a go around should the approach become unstable."
"As a rule, repositioning flights are not any different than revenue legs. In this case, maybe the copilot was getting some hands on experience. If the Captain did not react soon enough to add power and lift off again after landing long, the rest is history, unfortunately. Not the airplane's fault. This is the last thing that can happen with all the procedures followed. Kind, sad regards."
