on my last flight on a two week old 321NEO (possibly one of the modest modern tech aircraft in the sky) my colleague picked up due to SOPs that I had forgotten to set QNH on the PFD. We were about to conduct an RNAV approach so if this hadn’t been picked up, the aircraft won’t auto set QNH, and consequently all the constraints on the STAR and the final approach path would have been dangerously below profile. Now granted, you could programme an auto GPWS pull up that an autonomous aircraft would be able to perform but how would it set the QNH or even know the QNH?
tech will be very good at mitigating but not at thinking ahead and making decisions that will avoid the need to mitigate.
