You might want to rethink that one.It sounds crazy to me.But maybe the Airbus people will take you up on it.
Sounds crazy to me too. But if problems with the man/machine interface continue to crop up in accident reports of this sort with some regularity, then at some point something will have to be done. At least with my proposed solution we would merely be ensuring actions that should be taken perhaps more often, actually get done when required by handing responsibility to the automation. As a bonus, I think the threat of the automation breaking them out of an approach if they exceed parameters will likely tend to improve crew monitoring of the automation, resulting in more stable approaches generally and fewer incidents or accidents of this type.
