Riskman:_
I know that no individual will intentionally compromise airworthiness or flight safety
Well certain Air Officers did in the 1980s breaking a system that still doesn't work, and others have been covering up that sabotage ever since. The MAA continues to do so, and will go on continuing to do so, unless and until it becomes separate and independent of the MOD. Ditto the MAAIB which must also become independent of the MAA. Finally, both must become civilian led.
At the moment you have a totally compromised Military Airworthiness Authority that cannot provide airworthiness and an Air Accident Investigator that cannot be relied upon to objectively investigate Air Accidents. In short the whole rotten mess is a recipe for disaster. Aviation being aviation, it will surely happen.
