Shortly after failure to conduct disturbed systems testing had killed Flt Lt Sean Cunningham. Not errors of omission. On both occasions a conscious policy decision was made not to do it. A repair is not complete until verified.
Even the briefest glance at the recommendations tells you most would be unnecessary if mandates were met in the first place.
Surely the Convening Authority should be asking 'How are you getting on with implementing the same recommendations from.....?' (Insert almost any accident, but Hawk XX204 and Hawk XX177 for a start). But then, that would bring matters too close to home.
You can't make this stuff up.
