Is it not true that under demading conditons (to which both crewmembers have been trainded equally) it is beneficial to let handling to the second-in-command so that the true captain is in position to call a go around while not being distracted by the petty job of steering the ship?
Is it not true that if a captain screws up the FO has a complicated CRM position and limited experinece to force a go-around? How long a delay is there between sanding a winglet and tearing a wing apart?
Judgement is superfluous. We want to learn and avoid. For that a full set of information will be needed and surely is to be found in the BFU report when it sees the light of a day. I hope to see answers whether:
- LH publishes operational and final x-wind limits to crew
- the actual wind was beyond demonstrated Airbus value
- an alternate runway was available
- the scrape occured with dual input
