There is no one in microlighting who was not shocked by this terrible event and who has not reviewed their own conduct as a result of the lessons learned.
CAP 735 calculated that microlights had a fatal accident rate of 18 per 1,000,000 hours flown, compared with 23 for gliders, 18.1 for helicopters and 13.9 for light aeroplanes. Furthermore, as is the case in all forms of aviation, the overwhelming majority of fatal accidents in the period in question resulted from pilot error, not airworthiness.
Anyone who has read the AAIB report from cover to cover several times as I have over the past 6 months cannot but wonder if the AAIB itself has lost the plot here.
There may be weakenesses in the BMAA Inspector system as there are in every system without exception.

Your final comment was totally unacceptable while there is a an alleged manslaughter case pending.
