And the ATCO didn't insist it was sent or sent it direct themselves to SRG when the MATS did nothing about it ??
Guess who's breaking the law ?? (Both of them it seems !!)
6 Reporting Procedure
6.1 Submission of Reports
6.1.1 The ANO places the primary responsibility for reporting with individuals. However, the interests of flight safety are best served by full participation, in the investigation and follow-up, by the organisation involved. Therefore, wherever possible, the CAA encourages the use of company reporting systems, with a responsible person(s) within the organisation being nominated to receive all reports and to establish which reports from individuals within the organisation meet the desired criteria for an occurrence report to the CAA. Correlation of operational and technical aspects and the provision of any relevant supplementary information, e.g. the reporter’s assessment and immediate action to control the problem, is an important part of such activity. With such systems the reporting level within the organisation can be, and often is, set at a lower level than the CAA requirement in order to provide a wider monitoring of the organisation’s activities. However, when the employee making such a report is a person having a duty to report to the CAA in accordance with the ANO, the company must tell him if his report has been passed on to the CAA or not. If not, and the employee is convinced that it should, he must have the right to insist that the report be passed to the CAA or to report it directly to the CAA himself. Procedures to ensure that this right of the individual reporter is maintained must be incorporated into the organisation’s reporting procedures and be clearly stated in the relevant instructions to staff.
