The SI report states;
"On 7th Nov 11 After Flight (A/F) and Before Flight (B/F) servicing was conducted on XX177 in preparation for flight which included making the seat safe for parking."
Now we can talk about just culture etc., but clearly whoever signed for the job did not make the seat safe for parking. What surprises me is that this failure gets no mention in the SI. If it is a difficult task to perform on Hawk aircraft, why over the many years of operation has this fact has not been brought to attention of higher authority? Or has it?
I assume that an A/F was carried out on 4th Nov, and the seat made safe for servicing. Again, no mention.
