ACAS Training issues, Oh yes... that was and still is a problem.
A study made by SOFREAVIA in 2005 based on on board recordings from 4 European airlines ( 2 majors and 2 commuters ) over 4 years ( 2001-2004) showed that only 28% of the RAs were correctly followed by the pilots and in 10% of the cases the pilots choose not to follow the RAs or acted opposite to it. Althought the percentages might be better today, seen the incidents reports we read, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and not only in Russia...
Frangible :
I forgot to mention that to read the BfU report you must have a bit of aviation knowledge. It was not made for journalists or the common layman.
Green Guard : you said :
757 crew responded incorrectly to ATC
Please expand : I do not know what you are trying to say.
Back to te trial :
Yesterday was Defense day :
Not surprisingly the defense lawyers put all the blame on the controller on duty, to prove that the management they defend was not responsible.
One said " The controller created himself the problem . he committed many large errors and contrary to what the prosecution said , he was not overworked or stressed "
Another quote " he made himself responsible for the severe faults he made which ultimately led to the catastrophe "
Another lawyer said : The telephone was not a factor , he should have put the Airbus A320 on hold while solving the telephone problem "
I always like when lawyers are telling us how we should have done our job, Afterwards of course.....
