I know this
Aviation Weekly & Space Technology link has been posted by
PJ2 previously, but it drew no response. I suggest that it is read and digested, compared with the China Airlines incident that
MurphyWasRight has mentioned,
and let the discussion start on training and how to keep the pilot in the automation loop.
With respect, I disagree with that last, and suggest to you that the point is
to keep the pilot in the control loop.
Automation is already there, and either substitutes for, or aids, the pilot in a variety of cockpit task areas.
The pilot is required to be in command. What may need some tweaking is making a better fit for him in the control loop to better enable his exercise of command. It come's with the pilot's badge.
I suspect that the crux of this accident is not hardware or software, but a human condition, i.e. industry, management, training and CRM, that needs to be addressed.
Which ones will be addressed, and how thoroughly? We shall see.
