Looking at the future and with shortage of pilots, we need to be able to elevate the quality of training and give the pilots all the tools to become proficient and confortable to solve all problems in complex cockpit situations.
So who would you blame ? I always thought I had a personal responsibility to to keep my skill level and systems knowledge up to a certain standard whether an issue was covered in recurrent training or not. I had unreliable airspeed abnormal two or three times in my career and the last time just before retirement last year the A/P disconnected at the same time. Make sure you can fly the A/C in all situations folks .
