The report on the Loss of Control section of the CAA Paper appears to reinforce the view held by many, that loss of control events can be reduced by more training on automatics. In doing so, it pays lip service to manual flying skills.

Instead of accenting the vital need for pure flying skills (which prevent loss of control in the first place) the authors have opted for a head in the sand approach by putting their faith in ever increasing automation and monitoring skills.

It is rather like saying I will not teach you how to swim as that is unnecessary. Instead, I will teach you how not to go near the water...
