...seems the old fashioned instrument scan was overlooked here by three pilots very sad but very eye opening for all of us.
For the low time inexperienced button pushers one can only hope. Hopefully the comers to this automation will be more of an integral part of the operations side of the aircraft rather than relying on the automation.
But for the experienced airmen who should be in command of their aircraft???? why should this accident be an eye opener?
Best way to prevent CFIT is to keep in touch with situational awareness. Keep the charts out to confirm altitude and position and to make sure you are supposed to be where are supposed to be.
