Flight
Safety Foundation Statement in Response to
Preliminary MH 17 Report
Alexandria, VA, September
9, 2014 - The Flight Safety Foundation released the following statement from its
President and CEO, Jon Beatty, in response to the release of the preliminary
report on the crash of MH 17:
"The Flight Safety
Foundation continues to extend its deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences
to the families of the victims of Malaysia Airlines 17. We owe it to the
families and to the entire traveling public to see this investigation completed
and we applaud the Dutch Safety Board and all the other investigative bodies who
are assisting for the work they have already completed and the publication of
this preliminary report.
- There is nothing unexpected in the report - all evidence is consistent
with an unexpected in-flight break up. The report does confirm that MH17 was
flying in unrestricted airspace under the control of ATC. The crew was properly
licensed, had valid medical certificates and the aircraft was in airworthy
condition when it departed Schiphol airport
- Our concern continues to be that investigators have yet to have
unfettered access to the site and that a proper on-site investigation has not
yet happened. The full forensic analysis of the wreckage must be conducted.
Those who are in control of the site have a moral duty to step aside and allow
the investigators to continue and complete this investigation.
- The ICAO Task Force on Regional Conflict Zones, chaired by FSF Chairman
David McMillan, is making good progress on its work and will present its
recommendations to ICAO well in advance of the February
meeting."
