Dash 8 down : the inside story of Ansett Flight 703

When the Dash 8 aircraft on Ansett Flight 703 ploughed into a hillside in the Tararua Ranges in 1995, it left four people dead. After a high-profile court-case, the pilot was aquitted of manslaughter charges. Author Michael Guerin probes beneath the media reports to investigate what really caused the plane to crash. He also examines the use of the cockpitt voice recorder (black box) in this criminal case - it was a world first and attracted keen attention from the aviation community
