Caulfield, you say:-
>>Re the Tenerife..that accident was caused by the KLM Captain and the KLM Captain alone.KLM tried to point the finger at the Spanish and even the Pan Am crew,but the tapes put paid to that.<<
Whilst somewhat off the theme of this thread I feel your comments are a gross oversimplification as to the cause of the TFS accident. Most, if not all, accidents are a combination of factors and/or events.
The basic truth though is that correct RT procedures are followed this goes a long way to prevent the beginning of any "error chains"
