Nonetheless, solely based on the official information that is available so far it seems as if the accident could have been prevented by the crew simply flying the aircraft in a way that comes natural to a pilot and by applying the memory items that they were trained for.
“In the way that comes natural”..... I thought maximum use of automation was the call of the decade? Hand flying now days often takes significant cognitive effort because of the automation policies in place at most Airlines, and that’s without contradictory information being presented.
“that they were trained for.......”. .I suspect we are going to find out that the training received to transition to the Max was insufficient.
