You can order this report from the Flight Safety Authority from: lentoturvallisuushallinto@fl tsafety.fcaa.fi The Flight Safety Authority is the official Finnish body acting independently within the CAA to maintain and improve air safety. Air safety comes from acceptance of responsibility, professional expertise and cooperation with the parties involved.

Official air safety functions are detached from the work of the CAA and are handled by the Flight Safety Authority, over which the FSA has independent authority of action, as laid down in the CAA Act.
