I would nominate the root cause as failing to get the extant weather in a timely manner.
I asked WHY was a 'failing to get the extant weather in a timely manner' THE root cause - not unreasonable under the cuircumstances I reckon, particularly when Backhand's investigation methodology seems to be a 'READY, FIRE, AIM' process that ends with blaming the pilot.
Blackhand replied:
In my experience in answering NCNs that would be rejected, and accused of making excuses for the error. Remember, Nominate root cause, nominate remedial action, nominate corrective action. This concludes the lesson for answering NCNs
Fair enough Blackhand, but you aren't being asked to answer an NCN.
So in the absence of a reasonable answer I'm left to conclude that inspite of all your supposed experience in both F/W and R/W accident investigation, you really haven't got a clue about ROOT CAUSE analysis, do you?
May as well give up while you're behind Blackhand.
