You consistently fail to acknowledge in your Posts regarding the Investigating Board that it consisted of 2 experienced Chinook Pilots and a Chinook Engineer. They were well versed in the problems that had arisen during the introduction of the Mk2. They were unable to find any evidence that the pilots were NOT in control of the aircraft prior to impact. On the contrary, the aircraft attitude at impact indicated a belated attempt at an escape manouvre.

You also ignore the Finding that the Pilots were negligent in that they had neither slowed down, climbed to a safe height nor turned away from the high ground BY WAYPOINT CHANGE.

The Pilots possesed the necessary degree of skill and knowledge to maintain safe flight. They failed to do so, which led inevitably to the finding of negligence.
