MOD is placing itself above the law in order to protect those responsible for the delay in fitting CWS.
Really? Is that not prejudicing the outcome of the SI?
Having a CWS, or not, may or
may not have played a part in this accident. If 2 aircraft are operating in close formation would the CWS have been inhibited/placed on standby? Afterall, the last thing you want when operating in close is some warning constantly going off. I fly an aircraft fitted with a system that becomes very annoying in the circuit because of the constant warnings of other aircraft. SOPs say I cannot turn it off or place it in a standby mode, but there comes a point when you start to tune it out. Great in the open FIR but not so good in certain stages of flight.
