The report says that:
  • The PF intended to disconnect the AP at 600 ft.
  • He was distracted and omitted to do so (AP remained non-intentionally connected)
  • He believed it was disconnected (not aware that it was until stick shaker)
My understanding is that:
  • Keeping the AP was not intentional
  • The PF wasn't aware that he wasn't actually controlling the aircraft between 600 and 175 ft (what about the PNF?)
Wasn't there a crew awareness problem between 600 and 175 ft with nobody knowing who/what was actually controlling the aircraft for almost one minute?
