THE publication of the report into the air accident that claimed the life of Cadet David Jevens has been deferred by the Department of Transport pending 'an internal review of its findings'. The tragic accident occurred just a day before Cadet Jevens was due to celebrate his 22nd birthday. The report by the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) was due to be published on November 8, but has been delayed pending 'an internal review of its findings' by the Department of Transport. The AAIU published a preliminary report into the accident in November 2009 – which identified no technical defects with the aircraft - and has since completed the final report.
'The final report was due to be published on November 8 of this year. However, the legal representative of one of the families has sought a review of this report under Part III, Section 19 of Statutory Instrument 205 of 1997,' said a spokesman for the Department of Transport on Sunday.
'This review will be completed within a few weeks, at which point a decision is due to be taken regarding publication,' he said.
'The final report has been made available to all interested parties. Any safety recommendations arising from the investigation have already been made available to all appropriate bodies and are being acted upon,' added the spokesman.
