Hi All
The RAA, and other air sport bodies including the GFA (with two
participants) were involved in an air crash investigation course in
April 2006 run by the ATSB in Canberra.
The ATSB is primarily concerned with TRANSPORT safety and as wombat
explained in his post, not that involved with sport aviation
incidents, which is why they ran the investigators course. The aim
was to give the various sport aviation bodies some skills so they can
run their own investigations.
Neither the police nor the coroner have any expertise in our aircraft
types or practices, so by themselves, any accident investigation done
by the police and subsequently the coroner will not amount to much.
Which means that sport aviation bodies do need to get involved in
accident investigations.
Or, of course, one could say that our aircraft engineering and our
operating practices are all well known and that the accumulated
wisdom of ages makes accident investigations irrelevant, but then we
could also just stick our collective heads in the sand and ignore the
concept of accident investigations and future accident prevention as well...
My question is :
If the RAA in Australia can train "Accident investigators" why can't
the GFA ??
