The idea that a manufacturer needs to design a system as complex as a 747 Auto-land to cater for such poor attitude, skill & self-awareness/situational awareness beggars belief.
All it took was a standard low-vis approach & some high terrain causing excess height for this crew to crash and kill themselves and 36 other people. The PiC and to a lesser extent, the SiC, was an accident waiting to happen.
What is of note is the lack of any depth on the pilot’s background, training and recent simulator/line-check performance, especially considering the repeated comments about the psycho-emotional state of the PiC and the SiC less so.
