Hi ya.

"You will not see an AIB type report on this accident."

I totally agree. With one exception, the Korean MD-11 crash in Shanghai in 1999, I havenīt seen a Chinese accident report in my professional live. And this report was some kind of strange, because it was just a list of things "what" happened, but no try to find out the "why".

For other accidents in China, (even in western a/c types) I have seen just extracts or summaries. If you have a look on the website of the Chinese civil aviation authorities, the respective part is "under construction" forever.

On the other hand, in comparison to the early nineties, the statistics proofed an obvious improvement.

But this was in fact not very hard to achieve: I remember a story from a friend, how has a transition course at Airbus together with some pilots from China: To his opinion, the most skilled and gifted pilot from this group was the accompanying translator.

Regards,
