DaveReidUK,

Unfortunately this accident has caused a real stink up down here in AUS. There is currently a government (senate) inquiry into the report, and its deficiencies.

The ATSB (investigator) and CASA (regulator) are currently being grilled over various proceedings - the ATSB has even admitted failings.

The report contained a very large number of factual errors that have been discovered, and its getting to the point that everyone would like to know what actually happened!

The Captain of the aircraft has been roundly blamed for the accident, despite a previous investigation showing many systemic failings on the operator's side. (there is a long thread in the Dunnunda part if you want to know more). There's also some very dubious assertions about the fuel state, what discussions they had, and fuel planning.

Without the recorder, we'll never really know I think!
