Nowadays audits produce little real inside information about company culture, which is arguably more important that how they do their paperwork
Or what they SAY is the paperwork. In the absence of a positive culture and in the presence of incompetence and corruption, paperwork can be meaningless. General comment to a general comment and not directed at Yemenia, about which I know nothing.

When will the basic facts of this accident be confirmed? It would seem that with winds from the South (Variously reported to date as being from SE and SW) the approach must have been to Runway 20. An approach at night with no ILS? Were there several aborted attempts at landing or not? It seems an awful ong way out, although again, distance reproted variously from 9 miles to 20 miles North of the field. It seems we really have very little so far?
