SO WHY HAS IT BEEN BURIED?
LAst year, I posted this on the BA038 thread...
I've just crunched the data on published formal reports by the AAIB back to 2006 (as far back as I could be bothered to go). The average length of time from incident to final report publication is 25.6 months, i.e. a little over two years. This does not, and has not, stopped them issuing recommendations, where appropriate, before the final report.
I'm quite happy for AAIB to resist the rabid frothing of the news media for sensational information to fill their 24-hour outpourings, and instead concentrate on trying to work out exactly what happened...
