Once again IMO it is questionable whether the ATSB has become part of the accident causal chain...

And once again while this relatively uncomplicated investigation drags on for years the actual 'risks' remain a serious issue. Until the correct root cause has been identified and mitigation achieved the risk remains active. Is it a structural issue? Is it an engineering procedure (or lack of)? Is it pilot error - fatigue, training, incompetence? Notice I say 'is' not 'was', because until the incident is solved it remains 'is' as the risk of reoccurrence is still out there. Therefor, as P2 astutely points out, the ATsB itself could be contributing to an ongoing aviation risk.

Maybe Herr Thor, ICAO's 'font of knowledge' can use that big hammer of his to smash through the layers of hardened bullshit that has covered the ATsB and become fossilised?

P.S I can definitely sense a Hoody 'correct the record' coming on! Hoody, take your 'corrected records' and shove them up your ass.
