Here we go again. From a report issued today regarding a tailstrike to an A320 departing YMML:
"Good communication from the cabin crew alerted the flight crew that a tail strike may have occurred. The climb was stopped and a timely decision to return to Melbourne was taken which minimised the potential risk from damage caused by a tail strike."
"Good" communication? A "timely" decision?
These are judgements, ATSB. You are not there to make judgements. You are there to investigate and report. You just don't get it, do you?
This was my problem with their report on the Qantas A330. That report was full of glowing judgements about crew performance.
