Good points. While it doesn't necessarily go to safety culture I was somewhat surprised by the following in the Preliminary Report:
1.6 Aircraft Information
1.6.1 General
Registration Mark : PK-LQP
...
Certificate of Airworthiness Issued : 15 August 2018
...
Time Since New : 895 hours 21 minutes
Cycles Since New : 443 cycles
Now, I know that LLC's generally have higher utilisation rates but 443 cycles over nearly 900 hours in just 74 days (94 days from first flight) strikes me as extraordinarily high. I've been trying to get a complete flight history for PK-LQP in order to determine just how much (or little) time that airframe spent on the ground.
