Why don't they????
Although there are many dollars and man hours put into improving air safety, it appears that there are a few obvious things that have not been done. They do not usually ask working pilots for input. (I have never seen it done anyway)
For instance.
1 Why don't they put thrust indicators in multi engined aeroplanes alongside the power levers? If there had been a row of lights (or some other indicator) alongside the power levers indicating the ammount of thrust, would that english crew have shut down the wrong engine?
2 If we had traffic lights at holding points would we have so many runway incursions? It works with cars. Mostly.
This is just two. There are many more.
