Thumbs down

Absolutely not.

There's no doubt in my mind that if AF had complied with the Airworthiness Directive covering the tyreburst situation the accident would never have happened.

Equally, BA's Concordes should never have been grounded; as they had carried out the requisite ADs.

And I'm absolutely certain that the report will not blame Air France for poor training and lack of CRM - nor will it dwell too much on ADP's role in the chain of events.
