Hi ALL,
Do not forget that there have been no final decision of the Judge.
Spanish Authorities ... Who?
Ministry: DGAC and AESA? They will not do anything from the standpoint of Civil or Criminal. Only a Judge can say whether civil servants and other individuals working for the Spanish Authorities, ie the Ministry (DGAC, AESA) are responsible for the accident, among other accused.
Unfortunately, it is much easier and faster blaming the dead pilots.
From my point of view, there is no doubt that there are responsibilities on the staff of DGAC and AESA. If they had been monitoring the matter as it should be, the accident could have been avoided. Unfortunately, there is much carelessness or complacency among the staff of DGAC and AESA as well as fellow drivers who did not check Slats and Flaps divices.
When operating with multiple inoperative items, what would you do?
Well, It must be subjet of pilot judgment:
-The inter-relation between those items
-The effect on aircraft operation and
-The crew workload.
