This mishap is sad on so many different levels. Foremost, it was a
COMPLETELY avoidable event. Pilot was a known flat-hatter and supervisors never came down on him hard enough - just passed the problem-child along to the next supervisor. He was an accident waiting to happen. Very strong indicators prior to mishap that he should have been boarded out. Flat-hatting in a single seat aircraft is taboo. Doing it in a multi-place aircraft is inexcusable.
