If you ever read the Air Accident Investigation Branch’s monthly bulletins of incident reports, you’ll know that many of them end with recommendations from the AAIB on actions which should be taken. Ever wondered how many of those actions are followed up on?
The AAIB has issued a report on just this issue, dealing with the year 2005. It reveals that 87 percent of the ‘recommendations receiving a response [were] either accepted or partially accepted’. The majority of these were accepted have been actioned.
Of 126 recommendations, 11 were rejected, ten of them ‘for acceptable reasons not known at the time of publication.’
The full statistics and the details of each individual case are online at <a href=”http://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/progress_reports/progress_report_2006.cfm” target=”_blank”>www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/progress_reports/progress_report_2006.cfm</a>
