Lyman, the CRM issue is that pilot suffering instrument failure declares

"My instruments (instrument) are (is) AFU"

response is by the other pilot

"mine are OK, pass me the controls"

or something like

"you are left wing down, roll right, stop roll
"your nose is too high, lower nose, stop your nose there"

and such other verbal input commands to fly the aircraft back to straight and level flight. But then, PNF needs to have his instrument scan up and running to be helpful like that ...

What appears to have happened is that an assumption was made that some instruments were running amok, and PNF switching to a differernt gyro feed would resolve that problem. But as not much was verbalized beyond that, I remain uncertain what PF saw on his displays.


I think we've talked about this before ...
