Has anyone experienced the German Authorities approach to an aviation incident. Some years ago, a Dan Air aircraft on a scheduled internal service was involved in an air-miss with a USAF fast jet over Germany. Upon arrival at Saarbrucken, the police were waiting.The Dan Air aircraft had the CVR and the FDR removed by the base engineer and handed over to the German police. The Saarbruken traffic police then visited the captain at the hotel and breathalysed him. This apparently is standard practice in Germany.The F/O was already in the pub. The subsequent enquiry revealed that the Dan Air aircraft was operating with civil controllers on VHF and the fast jet had no knowledge of the UK aircraft because he was on UHF.
To compound the problem, the captain had enjoyed an ALD in his room!
