FL - on the joint statement fair enough although I'm not entirely sure that the statements view on those involved with safety review and the CAA's level of consultation, its motivations and the view that measures thus far have been rushed - should these elements of the statement be ones you align with - accord all that well with the other thread. In fairness water has passed under bridges since and it is what it is.
Question re: loop. Understood. Quite why its been referred to as "a manoeuvre with both a vertical and rolling component" by the AAIB only they know as its unlikely to have been described as that by anyone involved prior to the accident.
On AAIB - no you explained the process clearly and I'm sure 100% accurately but that wasn't the point of my question. When I said "drive the process" I was referring to the push to extend beyond 28 days or is that preempted by the AAIB?
