Well, you're correct, I am a civvy pilot (ex Army though). I am beginning to understandthe differences in the way mil flying is regulated and you have my sympathy. I always understood that there was a great deal of trust involved in the military. ie you trust them to get you the right kit and training. It must be rotten to find that trust abused. For example, why no FDR or CVR?
I am grateful for the regulated and protected environment in which I operate. You overestimate my status though if you think I could help to bring that to my fellow pilots in the RAF- but I would if I could.

Sorry for being a twonk! maybe I ought to butt out.
What I was trying to put IS by nature contradictory but I'll give it a final go.
We'll never know for sure what happened. OK? firm.
If a PPL had had the same accident in his Cessna we'd never have known for sure either.
Somehow though, I'm sure people would be quite sure that the PPL had CFIT'd his aicraft and the matter would be considered closed.
Do you see what I'm driving at?
