That’s the
obvious for many … but not for the one concerned in the first place !?
That RETARD auto call out particularity was mentioned already in the 2000 official report following the first
crash, it was
again part of the Safety Recommendations after Taipei (interesting reading
here and
here) but nothing was done before Congonhas ...

Glueball, you mentioned insanity a few times regarding this TAM crew, but to me insanity is keeping doing things over and over when knowing they are wrong and in that perspective Airbus is insane not to have adapted that RETARD auto call out logic.
BTW is there anything in FCOM detailing the RETARD call out logic … ?
I would rate it as a very nice to know for pilots.
