Dear Transport Accident Investigation Commission,

 

As you know Annex 13 6.5 states "In the interest of accident prevention,
the State conducting the investigation of an accident or incident shall
make the Final Report publicly available as soon as possible and, if
possible, within twelve months.

 

The occurrence in which ZK-NEM descended below minimum safe altitude was
on the 13th of June 2023. It is now rapidly approaching 3 years and not
even a draft report has been issued.

 

Why has a final report in an occurrence of critical concern to airline
pilots not resulted in a final report nearly 2 years after the ICAO
recommendation for release?

 

Can a final report be expected soon and if not what is holding it back?

 

Is such a delay consistent with best practice internationally?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Kurt Mastrovich
