Every aviation accident/incident I came across had some form of human error. Pilots, dispatcher, ATC, mechanics, etc. They flew the way that got themselves killed, no doubt that was an error. The investigation will eventually elaborate all the details.
You seem first to say that “pilot error” should not be discussed, and yet you say:
“they flew the way that got themselves killed, no doubt that was an error”.
I wouldn’t disagree with you. Their options reduced until they landed downwind & it ended in tragedy.
There are clearly other contributing factors which lead to this accident.
What isn’t in dispute is that a perfectly serviceable aircraft is now an insurance write off with tragic consequences.
Unless you can persuade those i/c PPRuNe that it is inappropriate to do so, that is exactly what the contributors will do. They will analyse the information as it becomes available. Different points of view will emerge. Disagreements will surface.
That is the nature, the very life blood of what PPRuNe does.
The FDR & CVR have been recovered. The investigation has commenced and hopefully an interim report will be published next month.
That will generate comment, as was recently demonstrated with the interim PIA 8303 report.
