Accepted tuc. I’ve got a few questions of my own I don’t understand but Tourist will know. Lifted these from the report as I don’t really understand them myself.

Why did the Board criticise the crew for not seeking a Radar Advisory Service despite the RTS forbidding it?

Could a carrier provide a RAS if it didn’t have IFF and the aircraft didn’t have radar or IFF?

Why did the RTS allow use of NVG when the aircraft wasn't fitted for it? They weren’t using NVG but the problem I see is the Board didn’t know what the RTS said and recommended its use is considered.


Lots of similar questions come out of that report and it bothers me no one seems to have asked them before. All collision related so not thread drift.
