It takes about 10-15 minutes to read the AAIB report.

The jury heard the best part of 4 weeks worth of evidence from a variety of experts. The case was prosecuted by a very able Queen's Counsel for whom I have a high regard who did a very thorough job. The case was summed up by a very meticulous High Court Judge whose summing up took two days. The summing up was clear and balanced.

I love the ability of PPruners to read the AAIB report and know what really happened better than the jury who heard all of the evidence and competing arguments. Oh and anyone who was present in court will know that the jury asked some extremely pertinent and clever questions. There were clearly jurors with engineering and other relevant experience.

People may find the AAIB report quite reasonable and highly credible but then, the criticism of the AAIB was they did not take all of the facts into account. Not a mistake made by posters on Pprune who clearly know what all of the relevant evidence was.
