Emilis, I could not agree more. The problem it seems to me is that there is nobody (or should that be no body) qualified and willing to do accident investigation to the level required for a proper assessment and for learned outcomes to be communicated to the rest of us. If ATSB is not willing to investigate fully then CASA should provide the resources for GFA to do it.
This is the real dilema facing soaring safety into the future.

Some are contributed by the equipment directly, aircraft and launch mode behaviour, etc. Some are operational factors, how the people in the cockpit, on the launch method, at the launch point behave Some are pilot factors, currency, overall experience, experience on type Some are human factors, the 'mood' of the pilot, the flight line, the club, and so on. The useful thing for all of us is to get to hear from those who are able to really find out, what mix are identified. Hence Safety Seminars, and hopefully fuller descriptions mailed to clubs and Soaring Australia than has been the trend in recent years. I have thoughts of my own which I would wish to chat through with those affected before making public comment. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
