The recommendations which had been ignored included:
* Safety changes which would have stopped the air force from shipping dangerous material on an Air New Zealand plane.
* Safety issues highlighted after near-fatal accidents in 2008 and 2009 which resulted in serious injury to a civilian and a police officer.
The failures were "essentially the same" as those causing the Anzac Day crash and were not dealt with again at a meeting five days before the fatal accident.
Squadron Leader Kennedy's Accident Analysis Report also found widespread safety issues in the air force. Some of the conclusions were "of sufficient gravity ... to warrant further investigation".
Defence Force commander Lieutenant-General Rhys Jones told the Herald no wider review had been conducted.
The Court of Inquiry also recommended: "The RNZAF investigate possible parallels between this accident and the reports of other Courts of Inquiry, flight safety issues and broader organisational issues that could be relevant to preventing future accidents."
Information released under the Official Information Act shows no work has begun on this and it is planned for early next year - three years after the accident.
The Accident Analysis Report highlighted near-fatal accidents from 2008 and 2009 which were discussed at a formal "airworthiness" meeting at 3 Squadron on April 20, 2010 - five days before the accident.
The cases involved a police officer who was seriously injured in a training accident who was rushed to hospital.
In another accident, a civilian "lost consciousness and ceased breathing" during a training exercise.
The report found neither accident had been dealt with according to air force safety rules, which aim to improve systems.
