I have been advised by the Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) of my Department that they expect to issue a draft final report to interested parties by the end of July.  The Regulation provides a period of 28 days for comment following which the comments will be considered and the Final Report issued and published on the AAIU website. As the AAIU is independent in the conduct of its Investigations, I do not propose to make comment on individual investigations.
