P7 Tom; “Angel Flight have allowed this to happen –”
To me that’s a bridge too far, they didn’t allow this accident to happen, and, as noted, we don’t live in the USA. There may opinion that regulation will prevent such accidents but what supports this opinion? I can’t imagine irrefutable evidence that regulations in the USA have saved their various CSF providers from accidents. It maybe that newly agreed regulations, where largely agreed between regulator and industry, are simply codifying improved practice.
Its obvious that our current regulatory environment contributes to the risk of accidents if only by the expense and difficulty of obtaining and maintaining the IF Rating. Other areas are more difficult to quantify and much comes down to opinion.
