Interesting though these findings are, I don't see any smoking gun and neither do I see (significant) evidence of a culture of complacency or mis-management on behalf of either the a/c operator, maintenance provider or the regulator.
Some ambiguity and confusion maybe, leading to different interpretations of the rules. Thus far very little similarity with the Thunder City operation, for example.
What I'm waiting for are the findings on the suitability of the display venue itself and some analysis of the regulations that determine who gets a PDA and what is required to maintain currency.
