No such thing as an average pilot.
A valuable list of regulatory references.
Many countries and individuals should heed the chastisements, but the most important language, that written in American English ( NW manufacture and regulation, and South Side Mall DC dialects ), is absent.
Even after stating a 'truth', it has to be recognised and heeded as important. Furthermore, 'truths' have to withstand legal advice as how to design, certificate, document, and present training requirements.
The industry has to be increasingly reminded of the challenges on its integrity; the need for safety above protectionism.
Well done to the Dutch Investigators in openly posting the 'Dekker report'; something more significant than the original accident report, and which raises the standards for investigation, reporting, and acting on recommendations.
Similarly for Dr Dekker; the HF report should be promoted as an HF primer - not detracting from the excellence of his books.
His report must be required reading for people at all levels of manufacture and regulation, especially bean counters and lawyers, and not least ourselves.
A gateway for change, improving our industry.
