Thirty degree track change at Hallet. Document? The chart. I would've thought they would mark the position on the chart 10 or 15 minutes past Hallet as per normal ops for random track operation. To check for cross track error. However they clearly hadn't checked the flight plan waypoints against the chart to begin with, as you said. Big Error number One.
You are in front of me re the radar technicals. But I would most certainly have had it on. Amongst other things to check for the mountain. Situational awareness back-up.
Couldn't agree with you more re the automatics.
