I don’t have as much faith in the investigative process as you do. Most of accidents I have seen were heavily coated in career-protecting whitewash.
Like I said, they will probably blame the poor schmuck in the Cessna and the whole chain of command will be absolved of all error.
Seen too many of these.
During a mishap investigation fault/blame is not assessed nor is anything discovered during a mishap investigation allowed to be used against anyone.
That is to ensure complete honesty and openness with the mishap investigators, to make sure we know what happened and why, to avoid losing anymore platforms and pilots.
Mishap investigators do not hide the truth, unless it was like the F-117 mishap before it was declassified.
So we have the mishap investigation conducted with complete honesty.
When you are conducting a mishap investigation you have access to all sorts of information.
During all my investigations I've never seen a mishap investigation where the process was corrupted
Never.
Given your cynicism, how many mishap investigations have you been involved with that gives you a contrary position, where you have access to the data and know, know the process was corrupted?
