"I'll repeat the quote that I beleive defines the difference between the FAA and the CAA attitudes: "US vs. UK military cultures: since the regs involved often derive from military practices, anyone else wonder how much the US "if it ain't in the book, you can't do it" vs. UK "if it isn't prohibited in the book, you can do it" philosophies might affect the different attitudes towards the investigations?"
This is folly. The US has a number of different arms of the US military that operate with different baseline philosophies as alluded to in the quote. There is no one standard that would allow the author to make the quote with any degree of accuracy.
If the author would like to back the claim up, I be intersted in seeing the argument.
