ankh,

With three recorders taking a constant pulse of this plane I would think the AAIB will be able to narrow down the cause of this accident real quick. The AAIB has already said they will be coming out with an initial report in thirty days so I’m confident a “fix” will be out well before the final report which can take as long as two years.

I fly a “Cable Car” plane so I try to stay out of these kinds of discussions but giving the excellent safety record of the triple seven (and all others), the length of service the triple seven has been operating i.e. how many approaches/landings it has done successfully, I don’t see this happening again.

The landing profile that is currently flown by all operators has been honed over many years by other accidents so to compensate because of this accident will only off set the curve somewhere else. I’ll stick to flying the plane the way we’re trained (for now).
