You said "But FSA has the resources to do the publication properly, with
more depth, and with analysis from aviation safety experts (instead of what some
people in this thread have advocated, which is producing a few paragraphs of
summary raw data in the mag and making everyone reading draw their own
conclusions)".
I have advocated to the Board that
these reports should be a 1/2 - 1 A4 normal typed page (will be less in the
magazine) and I am advised that sufficient factual data exists in a
suitable form within the GFA, from the Incident/Accident Reporting system. It
just isn't made available to the rank and file.
Now there may be some extra effort
needed to draft it into a form for the magazine, but I've made a suggestion on
how that can easily be handled.
At the present GFA Safety Seminars
one of the key message is "early decision making and good circuit planning at
700 ft agl for outlandings" and specific examples are considered ..........
including a number of fatals ..... and this is identified as a key problem for
the sport, & rightly so.
Yet in the March 05 Magazine there
are 2 accident reports on p22, of a LS1F and a LS4 which say
(merely) "Heavy landing while outlanding".
I say that all members could gain
something useful from those accidents if they were advised of the reason for the
heavy landing.
You tell me. Was it poor circuit
planning, or pilot fatigue, or poor paddock selection or pilot dehydration or an
unsighted star-picket or ..............................
It can only benefit all active
pilots to learn from these reports and I don't understand why you would possibly
object to that.
