As to 'how,' any way I could, Bernd. As to 'expect,' 'hope' (like hell!) would be a better word.
All I know is, I reckon that I'd have a damn sight better chance of getting useful (meaning preventive) information my way, by legwork and experimentation and even just plain following hunches and having ideas, than I'd have just reading FDR data and carefully working out percentages that prove beyond doubt that three or four almost identical runway overruns with the exact same type of aeroplane, all with identical mech. problems (one reverser inop.), all with highly-experienced pilots, just couldn't have happened - and that 199 people just couldn't have been killed at Congonhas.........
Because all that is easily proved from the figures to be statistically impossible........
