Accident Investigation
Chug,
Bismark is 100% right. The RN and AAC have long established Accident Investigation (AI) organisations with recognised "independent" lines of responsibility to enable them to comment on shortcomings in systems and procedures. Furthermore, they are manned by "passed over" officers that dont care about their non-existant future promotion. Plus, they tie AI to Flight Safety by having those that do the AI teach FS on FS courses etc. in a (successful) attempt to drive down accident rates. There is nothing like walking into the RNFSAIC or AIEFSO hangars to focus your FS attention!
In your desire to form a MAAIB you may (or may not) solve the RAFs AI problems but you will certainly break two other highly successful AI & FS systems, thus increasing the likelihood of RN & Army accidents. This cannot be acceptable.
