This links to the issue of the MPL and general dumbing down of pilot training.
On the one hand training needs to be relevant. On the other hand as pilots are positioned further and further out of the loop a lot of basic knowledge is being lost.
You also lose what you do not use. Interesting to observe the poor performance of pilots, who presumably must have grasped the basics of instrument flying to get a licence, when the crutch of the FMC is removed due to misprogramming or other problems.
Having said all that the NTSB report relates to light aircraft and the statistics for glass in big jets tell another story.
