Just reading the Feb 20 batch of ATSB reports.
Seriously, have they sub contracted this to Mills & Boon? Or is the work experience kid writing them?
I understand the ATSB's new no-fault policy. But surely if there is no learning or lessons from a report - then why are we bothering?
After a mid air collision is the best advice / recommendation we can muster to read a 5 year old ATSB brochure "A pilot’s guide to staying safe in the vicinity of non-towered aerodromes."
And of course the really funny thing is that the ATSB report
http://www.atsb.gov.au/media/4533008...-205_final.pdf
has a dead link to its recommended "safety message" document. Are we really paying these people?
I've tried searching the ATSB site on both the title of this publication and its ATSB publication number with no luck. It appears that it has been removed from their website. Really doesn't look like they care much, does it?
Surely a mid air collision at a significant capital city airport airport deserves something more insightful? Where is the value in producing this type of report at all? Why not save the money and just stop doing these mindless investigations?
