Whether it is then appropriate to blame the computers for not saving the day seems unfair.
Garage Years
I think the concern is for when the computer becomes an obstacle to the pilots recovering from a situation. The worry that The Shadow raised is the case of the computer masking a situation that is trending toward dangerous, leaving the pilots to play "catch-up" when they have to take control.
Aside: If you have ever, as an instructor, let the student pilot "go a bit further afield" as he makes an error, you are aware that the further he strays from desired performance without correction, the more work it is to get things back in order.
I think that on these boards, it is axiomatic that
getting behind the aircraft rarely turns out well ...
snowfalcon, thanks!
I'd guess that a checklist or something like an ECAMS resource in the cockpit would walk the pilots through the step by step if such a realighment/recaging were necessary inflight.
Perhaps not, perhaps fixed only on the ground.
