The key to the way both CASA and Airline management look at fatigue is the statement that" the organisational aspects of fatigue management did not appear to materially contribute to the issue of fatigue ".Basically the report is saying the Crew were given 'adequate opportunity' for rest and didn't use it. None of this of course takes in to account the time of day,body rhythms, disruptions to sleep etc. All comes back to the crew because they /he 'didn't avail himself fully of the rest opportunity'.This is a big grey area for crews and a big out for Airline management."Hey the guy was too tired,he should have told us.We gave him 12 hours off "
Unfortunately in this incident have to agree with LookLeft. For a Captain to state that passing 1000ft AGL ( and getting an auto-call out of same ) he noticed that the Gear was still up and Flaps at Config.2 ( Flaps 3 and Flaps Full still to go ! ) but chose to do nothing about it does sort of beg belief regardless if you're tired or not !
From my understanding, J* only allowed the crew to continue their duty because the Captain had reported the go-around as a routine event and the true story only came out later.
