Yes, Expressway 31, thank you. We used the FDM program to monitor these approaches (de-identified) and then picked a gold standard, hand-flown approach, turned it into an animation and showed the troups, the idea being "the window". The numbers were as you say.
It's not a matter of being a whiz with the automation - that's easy stuff. It's a matter of thinking ahead two to six miles and keeping an eye on the guy you've been cleared the visual behind, at night, against NY city lights.
O.C., good thoughts - in my view you do capture some of the factors which I think are at the heart of this accident. I also agree with you on the Op-Safety Review - despite the caution not to view the document as connected in any way to the accident, the document means something...not everything, but it is a reasonable part of the mix.
