The Blame Game

Hi,

Organfreak,

The human machine interface (during crisis) has not a place in your list? The fact that the entire crew failed to even understand timely what was occurring is not important?

Or your

7. Deficiencies in the Airbus instrumentation and control design in terms of stall warning behavior, angle-of-attack display, auto-trim, and the list is long.....

includes this issue?

I am not ready to cast PF into the entirely unfit to fly bucket yet. I have this uneasy feeling that many of our weaker brothers in the cockpit would have succumbed to this same scenario, particularly because there is probably something about the total scenario that we do not properly appreciate.


The human factors group at BEA will be having an interesting time if they do their job correctly. I only hope they can explain their understanding adequately.
