[edit] Criticism of NTSB report

I changed the tone of the conflict of interest to more NPOV. I also added {{Fact}} to 2 statements that I cannot substantiate by reading the report:

1. The current article says that the C-310 reported its heading to ATC, whereas all I could find is the vague 'Asheville' in the readback, which could be interpreted in many ways, but no heading ('heading' in aviation is in degrees, like '340').
2. The article says that there is no 4 seconds pause in the transcript - I am not sure what is meant by that. I certainly understood from the report that there was such a pause, which was very important to explain the apparent confusion on the part of the C-310 pilot.

Any comments on the above would be welcome. Thanks, Crum375 13:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I added "alleged" and removed the ^{[citation needed]}. These were his allegations as noted in the references, so they're cited. This doesn't say anything as to the truth of the allegations, only that he made them. Alanhwiki 22:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
