The ATSB doesn’t subscribe to the Swiss cheese model any more. It’s so passé. The ATSB jumps to a conclusion and then finds “evidence” to support its conclusions. It’s a much more efficient methodology.

For those who like to understand what the data suggest, the data suggest that the most likely cause of hull loss or damage to aircraft flown by CPLs and ATPLs in Australia is fuel starvation or exhaustion. Every now and then “trained pilots” jump into a “seemingly perfectly functioning aircraft” that turns out to be an actually perfectly functioning aircraft that has insufficient fuel for the flight either absolutely or as a consequence of finger trouble.
