The thing that strikes me about this is that an experienced and above average Hawk QFI screwed up an exercise he was patently capable of completing safely. Why? The report seems to hint at him being under self induced pressure but also under pressure from a multitude of trivial administrative tasks. If that is what it is like for a RED ARROWS pilot, what must it be like on a bog standard squadron?
The first film I saw called “ Distractions “ featured a Javelin crew! When will the lesson be learned?
