DGCA Blame the pilots and then CYA

Quote:

"Note: The procedures above have been incorporated into the manufacturer's Flight Manual by
TRs Nos. 4.02.00/13, 4.02.00/15, 4.02.00/16 and 4.02.0017 approved by the DGAC on September 05, 2002, and will be incorporated into the next general revisions of the flight manuals".

The AD blames the pilots for mismanagement of the fuel problem. This may be true if they were trained in accordance with the procedures outlined in the AD and did not follow the AD procedures. The AD however was written after the fact. My question is, did the pilots follow the instructions that were in place at the time of the incident?
