Pilots were so unfazed that they didn't even make reports.

This is iPad Facto from the releases, and not a clear finding, certainly not expressed in this way.
If this statement is casually accurate, the fault is with the regulator, via the airline. The airline is responsible, in an agency, for the regulations. The Pilots, as representatives of the line, are the visible ones, but to understand "unfazed" the culture at AF is on the hook.
The decision maker acts according to his/her understanding of the situation, and the source of error is in the decision maker's knowledge base or in the process of reaching a decision. ....Orasanu et al
With respect, this is incomplete. It is a poor judge who lays off a decision on knowledge alone. Including "process" does not help.
One can have excellent knowledge base; without experience, it is not only partial, it is dangerous to believe data can fly. Untrained, U/A recovery is a crapshoot, and UAS recovery the same. Machinbird has demonstrated this fully, as others have, and does one doubt the lack of training will remain unaddressed in the report?
Has anyone here had a singular experience in the sim, without help, in UAS recovery, though conversant in the platform's operation? Dozy?
