It is disappointing but not surprising that the very first reaction to my initial missive is one of cynicism.
pulse 1 accurately quotes the AOCinC's opening words, but in stopping where he does, pulse 1 conveys an ambiguous message, just as Blakely did, and what the AOCinC wrote was not ambiguous.
The AOCinC went on to conclude: ‘that the operating pilots could and would have avoided this accident had they followed a different course of action from the one they chose to pursue.’ He went on to write: ‘why they therefore elected to ignore the safe options open to them and pursue the one imposing the ultimate danger, we shall never know.’
This is precisely the analysis which I expand in my earlier piece.
So, pulse 1, why not answer the three exam questions?
