parkfell, #223, CRM.
If you are able to identify which aspects of CRM were poor, or even what CRM consists, and how applied (not the oft quoted academic definition), then we might consider the 'reality' of CRM
The occurrence - reality, of 'CRM accidents' is that we, the industry, assume that CRM, monitoring, intervention, etc, will aways work; it doesn't.
In order to understand this we need answer how CRM factors - HF coincide with other aspects of the situation result in an accident. Only then might we discuss the practicalities in operation and why these differ from the academic concepts.
#227, the question 'why' was asked of you, not the accident crew.
If we are able to first understand ourselves, then we might ask similar questions about this accident, but don't expect anything other than subjective opinion.
Satisfactory outcome is judgement after the fact; we can never ensure a satisfactory outcome, only mitigate the risk which we perceive.
