Okay back on thread…reference Oleo’s post ‘ATSB Hypocrisy - Does the left aileron know what the right aileron is doing??’
Maybe there’s some serious ‘black magic’ going on here?
So let’s get this straight first we have the ‘Investigator in Charge’ (withBeaker initially in full support of his IIC’s concerns) railing against FF’s apparent 180 take on their approach to the Norfolk ditching investigation; FF “we’re now solely blaming the pilot (outcome bias) and we’ve massaged all our evidence to reflect this…”.
Then Beaker has a ‘mind flip’
and comes out batting for the other team…meanwhile the other team’s two recognised Human Factors experts BC and MC decide to jump ship. BC goes to the ADF and MC to the ATSB.
Clear as mud so far, I think?? 
Ok so then we back up a bit and in 2008 the ATSB commission several experts in the field of human factors (Authors: Inglis, M., Smithson, M. J., Cheng, K., Stanton, D. R., Godley, S. T.) to conduct research into the ‘Human Factors Analysis and Classification System as a predictive model’. This HFACS uses its ‘baseline’ methodology on the ‘Reason Model’
:
The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is a hierarchical taxonomy that describes the human factors that contribute to an aviation accident or incident that is based on a chain of events theory of accident causation and was derived from Reason’s (1990) accident model.
Ar2008036 is finally published in December 2010 and is lorded by the Minister and his department in November 2011 as a benchmark of Human Factors research excellence by the ATSB.
Meanwhile if we jump on lefty’s TWM again and back up a little and reflect on Oleo’s post
…“Jules praises the Reason Model (page 2). Again, something that Beaker Snr doesn't particularly embrace. Oh dear, again, King Beaker would turn in his trough if he heard Jules say that today!”
Hmm passing strange that?? JW, now Beaker’s left hand man, seems to have had a frontal lobotomy or maybe a Hoodoo Voodoo doll is manipulating him?
Then finally if we fast forward again to October 2012 and we get Beaker’s “Beyond all Reason” spin given to the Senators and yet only a month before MC gives a presentation that of all things features a block of Swiss cheese on page five:
So did all these bureau ‘Human Factors’ experts, the Minister and DOIT just miss the Beaker ‘beyond all reason’ memo? Or maybe the Hoodoo Voodoo doc just run out of dolls? Either way could there be a mutiny on the ‘HMAS Muppet’ brewing?
Enough of the Beaker bashing for a while, it would appear he is nearly at the end of the plank and in with the sharks…I’m off doing a Kelpie!
