Click Click
Centaurus, gearlever, I disagree.
It is the ‘click click’ mentality which more often contributes to mistakes.
First just because crews have been shown a film it does not mean that they will change behaviour as required. Why should individual pilots, training, or management think that way; ‘video training complacency’.
Second, ‘click click’ training does not explain when to disengage autos; the critical aspects of judgement based adequate awareness of the situation. Many problems in this category arise from SOPs, - when to use autos or not, and the underlying philosophy of safety benefits. Why use A/T independently from the A/P - few people would consider the opposite arrangement.
Third, is the method of disconnecting fully explained, which includes the means of confirming the selection and appropriate cross checking. How many incidents originate from less than adequate PNF duties when Captains are in that role?
