TOGA drills practised, TOGA drills carried out.
High level drills not practised, and not carried out.

Complete failure of drills and cross-checking even before the incident.

My reason. Training is far too short and far too easy. There is insufficient time to build up airmanship.
Bring back proper Unusual Attitude training.
I'd also question the wisdom of having pilots pay for their own training. Guess what? They ain't going to pay for more than the minimum, and they ain't going to train somewhere that fails people.


For what it's worth, I've had an ASI failure at night. Attitude and power. Total non event.
