So, I'm a bit of a nerd. That should be obvious, and probably applies to most people here given our chosen hobby/interest in drone flying. But sometimes I take it to new levels. I started drafting crash/incident reports, modelled after Transportation Safety Board air investigation reports. I've luckily only had two incidents, neither of which resulted in a loss of the aircraft, but I figure it's good practice to draft them -- I plan to lead the drive to implement a drone program at my work, a federal agency in Canada; after my career I plan a career in practicing law as a paralegal, and paralegals have standing in the Transportation Appeal Tribunal where errant drone pilots can find themselves appealing fines for incidents etc. I am a health & safety co-chair at work, and so I review accident investigations already, this drafting exercise helps me hone my skills there, too.
I thought I would share a redacted version of my last one to see what the members think. Please critique it... am I off on any technical details or conclusions? Would you have written anything differently? It was not a very serious incident, but it did illustrate an error I made in selecting to do an ActiveTrack mode at a poor location, and so presented a learning opportunity.
Here is the link to the PDF for this one. If you are interested in having me draft an investigative report for your own incidents you can PM me and if I have some time I can provide something.
Cheers!
