Have you lost the plot??
Isn't it odd how the first thing that gets thought of is the financial reward for a a lawyer engaging in his profession and that its a personal interest of the Scottish first minister!!
Why do you think of those things before the victims? and "rush out a report" really rush???
Your line Phil, it takes as long as it takes, etc is similar to those shouting from the tops of their voices "wait for the report...show some respect, etc." that is the usual response in these matters. And fair enough. Absolutely fair enough.
However I remember talking about this accident in the springtime of 2014 with an employee of the CAA and an examiner at an airfield following an LPC and back then the CAA guy was very confident it was fuel mis management.
No doubt there are some further analysis, details since that time but surely the process here could have given further updates beyond the last special bulletin of Feb 14th 2014 (almost a year exactly!).
If there has been so much detailed work to do in the interim period why not talk to people about what that is? Isn't that also respectful of the families who lost lives?
One aspect of this that people find huge mystery in is that "why, following the double engine failure, an autorotative descent and flare recovery was not achieved."
Well maybe because people are not perfect all the time? Bit like the example I used when people snear at a R22 low time pilot... Even the very best can make errors, even in good VMC!
