It can only benefit all active pilots to learn from these reports and
I don't understand why you would possibly object to that.
Mark - and others - aren't objecting to it, they're just pointing out that
in their opinion nothing useful would be gained from it.
You are very welcome to differ from that view, Geoff, but in today's
time-poor society, your ideas take somebody's time to implement. If it's to
be yours, go for it. If you simply want somebody else to add another job to
his already large burden, then no. He's the RTO/ops, it's his decision how
he deploys his time and his energy. If it's his professional opinion (and
most RTOs and CTOs have a great deal of experience) that he can use his life
more usefully elsewhere then that is his decision.
I'm not trying to bag you personally, Geoff but all of this stuff takes
time. I know you think it's worth it but the guys doing the work don't
agree. If we paid them, we could sack them but we are too cheap to even
have that hold over them.
...and think of the squeals from up north if we put up the fees.
Cheers,
Graeme Cant

Those who want CASA to take a greater role can also take solace in the
fact that GA pilots and glider pilots kill themselves in exactly the
same ways, and exactly the same lessons are applicable, and CASA already
produces a crash comic.
Glider pilots who read FSA will be just as safety conscious as they'd
be if they read the GFA accident reports too -- 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)
