how pilots can be dumb
way back when I was a cfii, I was giving dual to a guy under the hood. he didn't like to tune and IDENTIFY the radio. So, one VFR day, while shooting an ILS to KSJC, he was up to his old tricks.
The simple display ( left right and up down) centered right up...on the VOR freq, not the ILS...but for some reason NO flag on the GS...he started his descent thinking he was ''right on'' all the way down.
It was shear luck, but he was right on as I carefully monitored visually and with DME backup.
We landed and I asked him to Identify it...he figured out he was on the VOR...how could that happen he said? Because you are undisciplined in the cockpit and it was shear luck.
Instead of teaching people how to use automation, we must also teach them how to monitor it.
