That helps, thanks. The sad case I listened to was an accident, and ruled as such by the jury, so in all probability the significant difference between the cause as given in the AAIB report and the cause as given by the AAIB investigator giving evidence didn't matter. Still seemed odd to me that the report wasn't amended to reflect the two different causes they presented.
