Sorry Guys. Can we backtrack abit here. I need to clarify to understand a lot of the posts
Are we saying that once an accident report is complete, done and dusted AND PUBLISHED, it contents should NOT be used for a subsequent case of criminal negligence.
Take a specific example. An aircraft engine fails due the the fuel system not being re installed correctly after maintenace. Aircraft crash lands with injuries. These are the findings of the CAA accident report and their recommendation is that the AMO must be re -audited, improve its it controls etc etc. I agree that thats as far as the CAA should go.
So does that mean any subsequent legal action should be based on a SEPARATE investigation of the accident and its causes?? If so then whom. Surely the CAA and NTSB are the best source.
