I have to agree with advo's original suggestion. As a simple driver with little or no interest in the legalese that protects the originator's ass, I would dearly love to see the ridiculous myriad of documents we have reduced to a single Aircrew Manual set. The RTS should not be a document I should have to refer to on a regular basis; that which is relevant to me as a driver should have been distilled out and presented in the ACM. I should have a working knowledge of the RTS but it should not be a primary reference doc for a Sqn shag.
As to your original question I'd have to say that we, as a Service, are now so Risk Averse (note "averse" and not "aware" or any other jargon) that it affects our ability to do our jobs as a military force.
