Quote:...This much delayed, obfuscated report into the ATR is, IMO an insidious danger to navigation (P2 - not just your opinion P9) . Hood should resign and the report redrafted to correct the glaring obscenities contained. Will the real investigators please speak up – before it’s too late and the acronym ATSB becomes an international disgrace... P2 - Way, way...too late for that, much like the 2nd iteration of the PelAir cover-up report and the serious cover-up of the MH370 search, this one has all the pugmarks of a Chief Commissioner well prepared to take it up the ----?
A couple of additional points of interest with this absolute WOFTAM, useless, diabolical, morally bankrupt, insanely disconnected from reality, Hooded Canary report...
On top of coincidentally releasing this report while Australia is in a Governmental and political vacuum, this internationally associated (ATR & EASA) ATSB final report and accompanying presser just so happened to be released on the same day that the entire international aviation safety community and the most influential NAA's (national aviation authorities) were otherwise preoccupied with the Boeing 737 MAX saga - see HERE.
Coincidence maybe but from a Hooded Canary topcover point of view it has had the desired effect with only one media publication (i.e Australian Aviation) daring to draw attention to this latest ATSB cover up report.
Now although the potential on-board fatalities of the 20 February 2014 VARA ATR-72 flight from YSCB to YSSY could never match the total on-board fatalities - (478) of the tragic flights of US Air 427, Lion Air 610, Ethiopian Airlines 302 - there was still a latent potential for there to be a lot more fatalities than the total 70 odd capacity of the aircraft that flew for an additional five days and 13 sectors after the accident occurred.
Regardless of the robustness of the ATR turbo-prop fleet Australia again (like with the Mildura fog cock-up and other examples) definitely dodged a bullet -
Dear Miniscule for GOD's sake WTF UP!
