Rat 5,incredible as it sounds,its unfortunately very true. In one case the main problem was failure of FR to pass on vital info ( which the CP was aware of for weeks before the incident occured ) regarding destination airfield nav aid unservicability to the operating crew combined with insufficient training onto the 800( at the cost of 15k euro to the crew). Approach resulted in egpws and crew correctly went around.
Both crew members were subjected to the now famous FR investigatory and disiplinary process and both were demoted. No attempt was made in the Capts demotion sim check back to the right seat to address where the crew went wrong and to solve that problem.I hope im not the only one who see s this as a major problem.
FR are just not interested in solving problems. They use the OFDM as a stick to beat you with rather than a tool to improve safety. Someone has to be punished at all costs instead of taking a step back and looking at where things went wrong and trying to put a system in place to make sure it doesn t happen again in the future.
