The whole flying thing is teamwork. Concentrating solely on airmanship will never eliminate all accidents because humans are fallible. With the best will and training in the world humans will still continue to make errors.
That is not a statement saying ignore airmanship issues but it is a statement saying that you ignore other clear indicators at your peril.
And yes I cannot understand any pilot who ignores any defect with a radio altimeter system which only interacts with other systems below 2,500 feet. i.e. very close to the ground and during a critical phase of flight.
This unfortunate accident as with Spanair is not just about airmanship. There are other significant factors.
The failure of one radio altimeter is not a mere irritant as the consequences can be enormous hence an MEL procedure which de-activates a faulty system. Contributing to this accident was the fact that the system should have been de-activated prior to that fateful flight.
We can never eliminate all mistakes but we all have a duty to maintain the highest levels of professionalism. That includes the logging of defect which we all know isn't just a Turkish airlines culture.
