Exposes design shortcomings in the Boeing 737NG AFDS/A/T systems that can lead to one part of the automation doing one thing (landing) based on
corrupted input while the other is doing something else (flying);
Isn't the crew supposed to make up for such shortcomings by monitoring what's going on.
Every aircraft has shortcomings for which the crew must compensate. Otherwise, why have a crew?
Such training does not support crews in developing an appropriate mental model of how the automation actually functions and what effect subtle failures have.
Then, what
does it do? Teach them to play PacMan?
