Genghis, et al; “
Neither first officer provides an account” …. … “
All of that is immediately visible to the Captain …”.
These issues, as you state, involve awareness, but this is not assured. We must take care not to make assumptions and suffer hindsight bias.
These awareness problems are similar to the descriptions in

In the instance of AF447 the discrepancy in awareness and reporting could involve;- not seeing, or seeing and not understanding, or understanding but assuming that the other person(s) have seen and/or have the same understanding. Alternatively the behaviour may be influenced by ‘fundamental surprise’ which involves many human factors issues as well as technical knowledge.
Can CRM assist in overcoming these problems, if so, how?
Are these aspects being taught?
