Mr Dolan forgot to add an important sentence:
I can appreciate that some operators may be reluctant to report an accident or incident to us because they’re concerned about the consequences of doing so. Let me be clear about this: the ATSB investigates accidents and incidents to find out what happened so it doesn’t happen again. We don’t investigate to lay blame. ATSB auto-forwards your reports to CASA, so that CASA can lay blame after consulting with ATSB.
