End of.
Fighting with the computer, which might or might not be working properly, or programmed properly, or the procedures which might or might not take into account this situation etc... this is a a game you will lose.
Uproot the problem land the plane, argue later.
In this era of .... a wish to reduce crew costs and bring in more computing .... with so many financial agendas behind the machines and procedures, simplify everything land the plane.
Bravo...

Seems to me human pilots are in the cockpit to aviate. Automation is not in our DNA. Butt cheeks, intuition, training, and a sceptical approach to a cacophony of alerts, grabbing the manual, and trying to suss the computer instead of simply.....aviating. “What’s it doing now?” Is the road, literally, to ruin.

Unless and until AI commands pushback and what follows, the human/automatics interface will be a skirmish, not a collaboration.

Which infers that the interface of choice would be between automatics, and manual reversion. These types of horrors teach us that basic flight was quite possible, what killed these people was a stubborn reliance, ego driven, on man’s supremacy over man, via digital “solutions.” (sic)

After AF447, any fatality caused by Autotrim should be treated as homocide.
