Russ - excellent - all they have to do is "cut n paste" a brief summary ( ie I'm not suggesting publishing a multi page doc - a synopsis - facts and conclusion would be fine ) and post it on the public side of the ASRA forum - it is really not a hard task at all.There is no reason it can't be done.

 

If they could do that say twice a year ( ie covering the previous six months ) then anybody in Australia, anybody interested in aviation, anybody considering getting into gyros or anybody anywhere in a gyro community around the World could read that data. At the moment it's Member only - ie no public dissemination.

 

Accident/incident summary data is shared in other countries, no membership is required for flight safety related data - it's a public service.

 

Try this as a template ( from little New Zealand ) - hopefully this is within the capability of ASRA.

Here's a summary from Australia - take a look - neat brief and concise and published in the public domain for all to read

The downside is that it was published in 1990 - ATSB published such reports up to 1996/1997 - since then the subject of gyrocopter accident summary reports has travelled back in the information Dark Ages - is this progress - is it fit for the 21st C.

 

Similar reports are put into the public domain in the UK, USA, South Africa, Poland, Germany, Canada, Spain, France but oddly not in Australia - be great if you could join in too.

As far as I am aware ASRA is not required to put anything out there for the public. They are there for ASRA members only.

I have been following your history on the US rotorcraft forum and I note that you dug up a report from the ASRA forum and posted it on your site.

This report had some details that you should not have made public.

The widow of the deceased pilot read that report with witness statements and was very upset.

Well done Steve in your attempts to make a name for yourself. You certainly did with a widow and her children.

I can't speak for ASRA and I am not a member, but I think they have more important things to do than feed your strange fetish for accident reports.

Hi Rick_PThanks for the update about the pilot, good to hear he is making progress.

 

Interesting to hear about the licence, training and registration - this is at odds with what Graeme the ASRA Board Member suggested in his earlier post

 

""Just out of curiosity, would RAA be required to investigate and report on an ultralight accident if the pilot did not have a licence (therefor not a member of RAA) and the ultralight was unregister and the idiot did not kill himself or injure another person?

 

Graeme.""

 

A factual summary report would be good.

I thought he was responding to other posts.
