PS. Based on a quick glance ... Looks like a lot of interesting stuff ... Even the bit about new Aircrew Clothing (sorry FACS ... Future Aircrew Clothing System)

My pleasure C240 
Mind you ... I'm still running Page 22 through the deciphering machine
Bowtie Methodology ... ?

ASIMS v3 development continues apace with a prototype having been delivered to the Knowledge Exploitation Team on 21 Sep 15 for initial MAA configuration (Beta) testing. The update aims to improve the DASOR data capture and to align the ASIMS tool with the Bowtie methodology. This will allow the Defence Aviation Community (DAC) to exploit ASIMS data more effectively.

I like "Safe manor" in the explanation.
Dixon of Dock Green's manor perhaps?

Skua & TTN: plus one!
Was it not 'bowtie methodology' or its predecessor that selected the F-4J instead of the F-4S, and the F2 and a half rather than something that could fight?

Sorry Coff, forgot to say thanks!!

Bowtie introduces new words, but the basics remain the same. Some consultant is making a lot of money conducting half day seminars.
Where MoD falls down is recognition of latent failures. There are numerous examples of Boards of Inquiry flatly refusing to "go there", resulting in the final act being wrongly blamed. BoIs seldom look at Factors or Events.
There is an uncomfortable conflict at the moment in MoD. The likes of the MAA are struggling with their role (having immediately set off down the wrong path, they're hopelessly lost). But at least they are trying, in the face of the long-stated risk management policy of "Do nothing until the risk manifests itself". Unfortunately, when it does, in aviation, the outcome is often death. This is why nothing was done to mitigate the known and advised risks associated with Chinook, Nimrod, Tornado/Patriot, Sea King ASaC - the last two being particularly criminal and, along with Nimrod, notified to the same individuals. MoD don't like being reminded that all four BoIs unwittingly repeated prior warnings. THAT is the real problem.
Risk Management? What about Certainty Management?

Good post, tuc. Concise, factual, and directly related to Air Safety. Now what would be the chances of an article along the same lines appearing in Air Clues? None of course, which says everything about the parlous state of Air Safety, and therefore Flight Safety, in the Royal Air Force of today.
Unless and until the RAF gets serious about Air Safety and backs the reform of the MAA and the MilAAIB so that they can become independent of the MOD and of each other, Air Clues might as well go the whole hog and publish simply as a comic strip, with all the Spry characters featuring. After all, that is something that it does quite well!

Now out, I picked up a "hard" copy from MoD Main this morning. Interesting collection of articles including ones on gliding activity, side-stick controllers and display flying.
