@RR_NDB:
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?
Yes, of course, and you're right that I was careless when I assumed that was taken into account in point seven (quoted below), as well as my remarks about poor training. Point seven:
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.....
Guess I was thinking that the above deficiencies, IMO of course, were a part and parcel of their lack of situational awareness. Anyway, nothing meant to be definitive about what I wrote, just the musings of a bystander trying to make sense of it all. When the final report comes in summer, it'll be none too soon, eh?
