To me, such "advice" is equally offensive as the speculation. Maybe worse. It certainly paints the pilot as guilty of something and as having something to hide. I don't know how it works in the...

I don't know the pilot at all. I am not in the least "emotionally involved" regarding the pilot or the victims on the ground. Yet I find public speculation about legal prosecution of the pilot...

I would like to point out that the Interim Report did not speculate that this maneuver was or was intended to be a 1/4 clover. It was simply a "manoeuvre with both a vertical component and roll to...

Concerning "margins for error": what is the margin for error for identifying the maneuver as a loop. A loop is done in pitch axis only and the tragic maneuver included pitch and roll. So given that...
