Let there be no doubt that the actions and recommendations concerning safety after ditching may be good in some situations.

I'm trying to highlight why the review does not look for a root cause for accidents and incidents.

Regarding the differences between UK and Norway, the CAA was not able to identify any differences. Yes, the review states that the operators, equipment, regulations and procedures are the same.
But as I have said earlier, the major part of the fatal accidents have taken place on the UK sector. Why? If everything is the same, why does it happen to UK operations? Culture diffenences?
And just for info; here in Norway the stakeholders of the industry are not satisfied with CAP1145.
Operators, pilots, technicians, pax (offshore workers), safety advisors and so on. The are skeptical to the result of this review. Basically because the review is written and investigated by a subjective part, and because it contains no "vision zero". As said earlier, the major actions and recommendations are reactive after an accident, but there are very few actions to prevent the accident to happen.
