No mention of pilot error
I find that a little odd. No way was it a blunder but I can't see the pilot being totally blameless?
BBC News - Nayland airfield aircraft crash blamed on tailwind |
"Pilot Error" is really a term not used any longer in reports. Accidents are invariably a combination of factors, and pilot decisions / (in)actions are some of those factors. The aim is not to cast "blame" (as the term 'Pilot Error') does, but prevent repetition.
I think the pilot sums it up well: He said it would have been prudent to have discontinued the landing attempt in the prevailing tailwind conditions. |
I was just about to say what airpolice has said. It reads as if it was all submitted by the pilot and not an AAIB investigation as such.

Who is to blame ?
Why would we want to blame anyone ? It is a rare pilot who hasn't a bag full of close shave stories. Why else is ' I learned about flying from that' so successful ?
There are a few who are blissfully ignorant. Then there are the rest......... . Safe flying. |
