In my opinion, the whole system of Safety Reports is worthless to the pilots. I accomplish them only when necessary, and include only the bare minimum of information.


If the reports were immediately published, so pilots might be aware of things currently occurring with an airplane or airport, they might be useful. But no, they take so long to process them and publish them, that whatever problem might have been of interest to us has been long ago solved. Why do we see 16 Birdstrike safety reports in one day? Did they all occur then, or is that just the day the "birdstrike safety report guy" decides to publish them. Why do we find out about parking problems at a ramp weeks after it has been resolved? We ought to hear about those problems as soon as they are identified, so we can be more alert to them until they GET solved.


It's all eyewash, in my opinion, to make the FAA happy. I'm with Bitme on this subject -- just the facts, ma'am, just the facts.
