If the RAF operates a truly Just Culture regime, how come it still blames the Mull pilots for that tragedy, despite the palpably unjust Wratten-Day Finding being set aside, and those Air Officers that ordered the Chinook HC2 into service via an illegal RTS go on being protected? I suspect that the Wing Co will once again remind us that such matters are way above his pay grade and that he is simply trying to do his job. In fairness to him he can't, while the MAA is hamstrung by the Star Chamber.
All that is left now for RAF Flight Safety (or whatever it is rebadged to), is to go through the motions of publishing magazines online, putting up posters, and keeping people occupied with threads such as this.
If RAF Flight Safety were all about presentation then it would no doubt receive "Publisher of the Year" awards aplenty. It is of course about avoiding air accidents, and learning what it can about those that are not avoided in order to avoid them in future. The present arrangement of self-regulation and self-investigation is a sure way to ensure that does not happen, witness the Airworthiness Related Fatal Air accident threads on this forum that account for 62 deaths alone.
Someone, somewhere, has to stop just doing their job and start the MAA and the MAAIB on their way to complete independence from the MOD and of each other. Then they'll have to learn to do their jobs properly, which will be a very steep climb indeed!
