gtaflyer,

How are we going to learn from mistakes and move forward as you say when we keep ALL air accident reports secret?

The CFIT at Khatmandu was not due to 'bad weather' although there were misty conditions but aircraft were landing.

He was a fatal one-step ahead of the step-down Sierra One approach and hit a ridge. The Nepalese authorities released some sort of report wherein it was stated, inter alia, that the reason ATC did not challenge the crew (because the crew transmitted height and distance) was because they are "under-confident".

CAA may have investigated the accident and then everything was hushed up.

So there were no lessons learnt, were they?

I fear the same will happen this time.
