I am not naive..aircraft accident reports will of course get mixed up in legal due process in all sorts of ways, such is life. But that is not, and never should be, their primary function.
Completely agree, and that is why it is important, in the event of a death, to follow up a BOI (now SI) with an Inquest or Fatal Accident Inquiry.
For the avoidance of any doubt the points that I raised in my last posting are 'lifted' from the BOI report, they are not my interpretation of sections of the report.
