Thanks for posting that NF, and we see that's how they killed the AAIB recommendation:
They took the recommendation to specify and observe planned display sequences, they gold-plated it to the extent of excluding any specified and practised plans B, C, D... or W (for weather?), then declared that the duly gilded recommendation was impractical and just let their display pilot pals wing it without the poor Flying Display Director having a clue as to what's coming next.
It was tosh of the first order for the CAA to pretend that "circumstances and weather conditions on the day of the display, such as time pressure in the display programme and wind strength" couldn't be communicated to pilots before their displays, together with instructions to cancel or vary the display in accordance with an approved "plan B".
The questions remain: which CAA staff were responsible for this nonsense, and how could anyone else have fallen for it?
