The ultimate cause of the crash seems to have been determined, but the contributing factors, will be very important for this event not to repeat itself, at least in the PAF, where things are apparently not as they should be.
That's attaching much more importance to the knowledge taken away from this crash than it can possibly have. There's nothing new there. We didn't have to learn the hard way, the world did it a long time ago, and the PLF 101 crew simply proved PAF hasn't learnt from other people's mistakes. That's the saddest part of this accident: all those people would still be alive today if PAF applied common knowledge: flying by-the-book, CRM training etc. There's nothing to be learnt from this accident that's not already in handbooks and manuals. All that remains to be done is to identify the people responsible for neglecting this knowledge and tolerating sub-standard behaviour, for years. Shame, shame, shame.
