@10 DME ARC :
Are we approaching a reverse of the improved accident rate with automation/technology where the accident rate will increase with lack of experience when things go wrong??
That was my way of thinking as well. I can see how far training has been reduced to minimum ,partly due to automation taking over many tasks, but at the same time , how much reliance is done on humans taking over when automation fails ( or fails to warn you) . That is a problem.
@Heathrow Harry :
We have different accidents these days - or more likely we always had accidents like this - it's only because we've reduced the others (eg CFT, engine problems etc) that we focus on these loss-of-control occurrences
You are probably right. A question to you if I may : Do you see the huge increase in safety regulations in the last decades having an impact on the reduction of accidents?
