The odds of the UAE authorities producing thorough, accurate and objective accident reports are the same as the odds
The odds are pretty good actually as the GCAA has just recruited several experienced air accident investigators to the GCAA's Investigation and Regs dept, inline with the recent reorganisation of their organisational structure.
One other point - the GCAA is responsible for the emirates of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah.
So, for example, Gulf Air is under the Bahrain CAA, Qatar similarly has it's own CAA and so on, so when looking for the reports, check the relevant authority.
