surprise at no Special Bulletin from AAIB a week on.
In the course of preparing for various BBC appearances last weekend, I asked AAIB if they could give me any idea of when we might expect an interim report.
Their reply surprised me. They are preparing such a report, they said, but they will not necessarily publish it. Apparently they only publish such reports when there is some action, such as an AD, perhaps, that operators and manufacturers are required to take.
I was left to infer from this that, at the time of the conversation, no such action had been identified, and that an interim report was not expected to be published.
