The swipe about the landing fees is a back-handed comment that has no bearing on this discussion.
RAAus don’t have the legislative powers, unlimited government funds or the staff to provide full analysis of the incidents. They also don’t have the protection from the act around information disclosure. They assist the police with the investigation.. have you ever tried to get information from the police about car crashes and what caused them??
They would if they could, but the simple fact remains that they can’t.
Pilots make mistakes, they are only human. In this case, prevention and improved training may have been the better course of action rather than injecting valuable funds into crash analysis.
Nobody has come up with a new way to crash an aircraft in the last 50 years, so we know what causes crashes; it’s just a matter of educating pilots into making better planning and operational decisions.
