Hi,
RR_NDB
And as you know, itīs easy to put responsibilities in an operator if a Human machine interface (even a poor designed one) is working as designed. Always the management could point to lack of "training", etc. exempting the System.
In fact .. it is the pitot tubes that have been exempted
In fact we know for decades that these Pitot tubes have been certified by not taking into account certain elements or conditions under which they are supposed to work
After some experience .. have realized that they no longer met the requirements expected
What solution do we find?
It was decided to continue to use them despite their lack known
It has continued to let the planes go in places that are not appropriate for these Pitot tubes
At the same time .. asked pilots to cope with procedures (not satisfactory since each time .. reviewed after an event involving the pitot tubes) to counter a bad certification .. or better to counter the fact that they must fly at certain altitudes for economic reasons
Is it normal to give pilots a plane that accessories that are unreliable for their operating domain ? (knowing that Pitot certification does not comply with the the field of employment)
With such principles can be certified tomorrow a plane that has the aerodynamic qualities of a bathtub provide you trow some procedures to the pilots
