After 33 months of waiting, the accident report into the HK GFS EC155 crash of 26 August 2003 was finally made public.

The report can be downloaded at:

http://www.cad.gov.hk/reports/Accident_Report_1-2006_of_B-HRX.pdf

It's a large file (26 megs), but well worth the read.

My heart goes out to the two flight crew who perished in the crash. Having read the report thoroughly, it seems to me neither crew member was fully focused on the job that night, in that they seemed to be watching the clock quite closely.

Flight crew performing a task such as these gentlemen were, should NOT have to worry about receiving a bollocking if they don't meet certain time-related "performance pledges".
