Essendon DFO cover-up: An update on the update - It's all in the TITLE?? 

Via Popinjay central...

Update published 1 August 2022

The ATSB undertook a significant review of the available material and sourced additional evidence from organisations in Australia and overseas following the circulation of a draft of the report to Directly Involved Parties in 2019.

Additional work was considered necessary when changes were made to the design of surfaces at Essendon Fields Airport that manage the location and height of buildings in proximity to runway 08/26. These changes were made by the aerodrome operator around the time the draft report was released for consultation. The changes were advised in update 1
The investigation has involved consideration of historically complex subject matter with the application of both Australian and international aerodrome design requirements dating back to the 1970s. The ATSB has applied considerable effort to understanding the application and function of those aerodrome design requirements from the 1970s to the present in the context of changes at Essendon Fields Airport. It has taken the investigation time to overcome the challenges of limited information available from historical periods to provide context to the investigation.

The title for this investigation has been updated to ‘Aerodrome design changes and the Bulla Road Precinct development at Essendon Fields Airport’ to recognise the scope of matters the investigation addresses.

A draft of this report was released to Directly Involved Parties for review on 15 August 2022. Directly Involved Parties have 60 days to provide comment to the ATSB. A final report is expected to be released publicly in the last quarter of 2022.

This was the thread post (above) that contained the original 'Update 2': Popinjay's spin'n'bulldust on YMEN DFO investigation 4+ year delay?? 

This was apparently (at least) updated on the 25 August: 

Last update 25 August 2022

  
Hmm...doesn't that make it (at least) update 3? Wonder if we will get an update at the end of the DIP process on the 12 October??

MTF...P2
