It's basic. Whether it's Bangalore, SFO or this one, whether the AP is on or off, the ATHR/Auto throttle is on or off, or you follow FD manually or not, on approach speed and flight path has to be monitored by the pilot. Those who don't do this are either badly trained or have become complacent. There was a case in Delhi where pilot was doing an approach at 300kts violating all speed restrictions of below 10000ft. also below 3000ft. when asked three times by the ATC can you make it, he answered in the affirmative and when cleared to land executed a GA almost causing mid air with Aircraft that had taken off. What conclusions can you draw for this insane act?
