People.....pilots want to work out what happened, for a number of reasons. So they can learn from it, so they can design training scenarios. If it happened once, it can happen again.
Another factor, let the authorities deal with it? We're talking about the ATSB here, the organisation of 3 year investigations. What do you expect pilots will do? Sit around and wait 3 years?
You've been a member of this bulletin board for quite some time. You should be able to work out which comments are worth reading and vice versa.
Spot on.
One great thing about pilots in general is that most want to learn from other pilot’s experiences no matter how good or bad, unfortunately in most cases the trigger is accidents or serious incidents.
As far as accident reports go, some are good and others are completely inaccurate usually due to inexperienced investigators or influence from stakeholders external to the investigation authority.
