I only mentioned what I did in terms of the pull up because I was asked to detail it in order to highlight how proper use of automation makes things so easy.
What I don't get, is after a long string of poor calls, he decided it was best to rather try climb up through the mess without any automation.
How does that factor into their upset/IIMC training?
Not sure about US regs, but many authorities require SPIF to use a 3-axis auto pilot.
So why is it, in such a capable ship, that there seems to have been so little training to use it?
The FAA minion squirmed his way through the interview, shrugging his shoulders at most questions. His contribution seems to have been little short of a box-ticker.
It becomes more apparent with every high-profile crash, that behind the scenes is a limp-wristed authority, whose value is providing ballast and bureaucracy and doesn't improve safety.
