B is part of the bare essentials of the reality of flight. And when stress, surprise, and task saturation cut away everything extraneous in the Asiana pilot’s mind, the bare essentials he was left with in his mind, were a mismatch to the bare essentials of the reality of flight, resulting in a fatal crash. I want to add B to the bare essentials in pilots’ minds so this isn’t repeated.
I will say again leave Asiana alone. All they needed to do was scan their speed regularly which is a must in every approach, every type of aircraft, with ATHR or manual thrust. If there was a call SPEED when the the speed was Vapp-5 they would have added thrust and landed properly and eventually retired happily without knowing anything about AoA. It was poor knowledge of AFS and Skill. If you think your AoA theory would have saved them sorry I can't agree. We do things simultaneously. Let's not count nano seconds.
