I guess the crew report would have been part of the decision-making process.
And CAS only took over on Wednesday! Give him a break. And whilst the decision went to him, (CYA by those below), I bet it was a rock solid "Ooh no sir, unless you say so", from about Group Captain upwards.
And as the Pres of the B of I for the Mull Chinook - when he was a wg cdr - I guess he has his own views on Airworthiness and Senior Officers.
I think he's a good bloke.
No,,,, so contrary to the bollocks written on here by some, he actually came to the decision informed with information from SMEs (one for Beagle to crow about) and using his own good judgement - heaven forfend! Wonder if that's why he got to be CAS.
