[QUOTE=Denti;11151611]Well, true in one way. Although even in the initial type rating and line training it was specifically flown to 200ft on two, click it off and land it. Yes, one has to be aware of the (unfortunate) trim, but it is very much manageable. In normal line life it was usually disengaged well before that, except for autolands of course, which both pilots could do whenever they wished to, on CAT III capable runways.
That said, the main culprit in many ways is, outside of EBT, the fact that there is the usual litany of standard stuff one has to do every simulator which is basically box ticking but does not really help all that much on the line. Like for example intermediate all engine go arounds, which are rarely if ever practiced.[/QUOTE
Am I being simplistic in reaction to this incident? Seems a lot of heads down and button pressing.
Was the HP incapable of disconnecting the automatics and smoothly applying enough thrust, ( ie push the thrust leavers forward and raise the nose) while making a gentle climb and turn to the requested heading and altitude. The NHP meantime resets the automatics to reengage the autopilot when required.
