One of the report recommendations 1.4.39 b) says:
"Put in place robust measures to ensure that all ETPS personnel understand reporting requirements, when operating both ETPS fleet and third party aircraft, in order to ensure that all relevant occurrences are reported ."
Am I the only one around here who finds it highly disturbing that, of 2 ETPS tutors and several Students who flew in it, not one reported any of the obvious faults with this aircraft. What does this tell us about the airmanship of modern RAF pilots? Do they really have to be told this kind of stuff?
Having run a PtF aircraft for 10 years in a group with 2 ex RAF fast jet pilots I am afraid that it doesn't totally surprise me.
