Unhappy

Surely, this kind of problem cannot be attributed to lack of type experience. It can have been a contributing factor to the initial a/p confusion, but it's definitely not explaining how the a/c ended up at +110 deg./-30 deg.? Put any student with 250 hrs in the sim, induce a roll of 45 deg. while on a/p and 75% will do something about it, a/p or not (the good ones would even remember to disconnect the a/p while stabilising the aircraft)

Training, training, training, throw in sop, sop & sop, and finally add a bit of CRM, airmanship and proper rest periods - and we would probably still be one 73 up

Brgds,
