I agree with you Lookleft, safety is an attitude. I do all the things you mention religiously and try to apply common sense. It’s a pity that CASA, AsA and ATSB don’t appear to do the same.
‘’To put that another way, who trained that pilot? What was his attitude? Why was that his attitude? What series of errors caused the accident? It’s never one thing like “missing a BFR’ there is always more to it. However the ATSB is unlikely to delve deep enough because I suspect the answer would be unpalatable.
