Caz,
What you or I think is of little importance.
Air Cdre Derek Hine thinks that the "burden of proof" requirement in 3207 has not been met.
He added the "Absolutely No Doubt Whatsoever" requirement in 1982.
He was the then Inspector of Flight Safety tasked with revising terms and conditions of BOI's.
I assume the Air Force Board approved the changes, or we have all been working to illegal rules for years.
So I ask again. "Where in the 3207 does it say that Officers of Air Rank, and Staff Officers are exempt from the rule."
Air Cdre Hine has signed the Mull petition.
He has also written an article in ComputerWeekly stating, that , "in his opinion", computer software problems were more likely than pilot error.
