The final CAA report of the incident was released in September, and Bruce Andrews’ brother, Robert Andrews, of Alexandra, labelled it "incompetent". In an email to Mr Andrews in March, CAA deputy chief executive John Kay said "the investigation could have been better managed and conducted". The CAA was not able to clarify yesterday how processes and protocols would change as Mr Kay was on leave. Mr Andrews said there was also no evidence his brother flew into cloud, as the report suggested. He also took issue with the report mentioning his brother flying under 500ft, which he was not allowed to do under aviation rules.
