I hope this will replace the CAROL system which, for example, required nine steps to search the NTSB data base for accidents concerning an aircraft type and range of dates of accidents. I used to spend time looking at the accident data base which listed accidents by date, starting with the most recent. The capability to access that data base mysteriously evaporated several years ago (with the advent of CAROL?). Later today, I’ll attempt to access the accident data base, hoping that the procedure is now more straight forward.
The NTSB says it plans to “keep enhancing the site iteratively.” This quote from the above article does not fill me with optimism. I even looked up the definition of “iteratively”, but am still not clear on what that sentence means.
