#1786, “At some point the pilot would have to make the determination that it is actually a runaway…”
This is central to the concern about piloting contributions in alleviating malfunctions.
How is that point determined, time-wise how long, what is the severity of the malfunction during that period, and by what means is the failure detected, explicit alerting, deduction, knowledge, … experience.
Training does not guarantee that the required activity will be recalled or actioned, particularly with rare and surprising situations.
It is difficult to change the human condition, thus eliminate the extreme situations which pilots could be exposed to.
