In article , *James Thomson wrote: The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (http://www.aaib.gov.uk) havepublished their report on the fatal crash last year of a SZD Foka 4.. * Thereport is included in the May 2011 bulletin. The report confirms that the cause was a mis-rig, specifically theincomplete engagement of the expanding rigging bolt. Same type of Foka accident a couple of years ago here in Alabama, U.S. Be careful assembling those Fokas! This makes it even more tragic as it could have been easily avoided! I've seen aircrafts grounded for silly reasons such as papework, certifications etc. Isn't a fatal accident caused by a potential aircraft flaw warrants a reaction?? Shouldn't there been at least an AD, bullettin or some kind of warning so other owners and future owners will be aware of it? Do we know if the person who rigged this aircraft was aware of this potential fatal problem? Ramy |
