Professor Ladkin

Part of a professor's role in academia, within their chosen field of expertise, is is to lead the learning and guide the thinking I believe ...

Are you comfortable leading us here ?

There has I think been some uncomfortable learning for some pilots reading the thread who as you know, routinely and constantly have to ask themselves "am I in control of and ahead of this machine and the scenarios I might encounter with it ?"

Perhaps, and maybe using something approaching Frank Plumpton Ramsey's ideas about ranking their beliefs (as introduced by you), most can confidently say "yes I am".

In the absence of conspicuous review by manufacturer's or operators since the accident, can you confirm that these pilots' own self-belief is well-placed today ? Alternatively can you summarise clearly the revision items you would concentrate on if you can think yourself into their position i.e. preparing to flying a machine like this again tomorrow ?
