Default Tragic Double Fatality?

Argh!!! Another fatality which may have been avoided if we had better accident information sharing globally! Ramy


The accident that triggered the UK action was no secret and the findings were made available, even if not widely published on RAS.
No new findings resulted. It did trigger the requirement for more rigorous inspection.
One sad reality is that the few people who really know how to inspect and maintain old wood structure gliders are fading away. The new A&P's and IA's are very well versed in documentation, but not so well trained in some of these less used skills.
Sadly
