A and C
The reason that this aircraft came to grief was not a maintenance or paperwork issue, it was pure "Human Factors".
For some reason the pilot took the aircraft outside of its limits and as a result him and his passengers paid the price.
It is not paperwork, laws or regulations that prevent accidents, it is common sense and good practice had the latter been used then there would have been no accident.
I agree.
The AAIB concluded:
The pilot was in current flying practice but neither his licence nor medical were valid. The aircraft maintenance records were incomplete and there is therefore a lack of evidence to show that the required maintenance was correctly performed on the aircraft.
Despite this, the accident appears to have been as a result of a loss of control while the pilot was attempting an aerobatic manoeuvre, and not as a result of a mechanical failure in the aircraft. .
Having considered all the circumstances, the AAIB did not consider it necessary to make any safety recommendations.
IMHO they were right. I have seen no evidence, either in this thread or in many years of dealing with the aftermath of aviation accidents, that there is a need to change the existing regulations.
