Machinbird;
From the Jean Pariès paper -
Underlying assumption of the current safety model
- Pilots, while focused on their current preoccupations, will...
- recognize any abnormal situation
- Implement "memory items" or "basic airmanship" response if relevant
- (then) identify the situation, and implement the relevant procedure
- ...through their monitoring of instruments, their perception of warnings, their awareness of the situation, and their "airmanship":
So, dealing with AF447, it has been established without too much doubt that other than "recognizing they were in an abnormal situation" the crew failed on all other counts. Does this mean that the HF response will be a complete re-write and a re-jig of the aviation industry's approach to safety?
I somehow doubt that will happen overnight, but adaption of current technology will most likely be used to lessen the "startle factor" and lead/prompt for the correct response. If that doesn't work, then the "technology" might just have to vote the "HF" out of the loop.
