I would like to say something rather important.
I do not believe the instructors were at fault in any way regarding this accident.
Saying that they have limited experience is not relevant. How is the lookout of a 7,000hr instructor better than the lookout of a 1,000hr instructor? Come on - tell me how I can improve my lookout.
YouŽve got THOUSANDS of flying hour instructors operating at their HOME airfield. The fact that this accident occurred MUST therefore be down to the fact that there is nothing they could have reasonably done to prevent it.
YouŽd need X-ray eyes to see another Warrior above you.
It sounds to me like the very busy tower were confused by what they asked the aircraft on finals to confirm which one he was.
This accident could happen to me in that situation. It could happen to me when I have 10,000hrs under my belt.
This one is going to run and run in the aviation training world. My betting would be on AAIB report resulting in CAA placing restrictions on operations at Kiddlington.
Safe flying everyone,
