Competences
That been said hundreds of times in this forum and also in the successive reports of the BEA
The accident took place in three phases
Phase 1
Loss of speed indication (trigger for everything that follows)
Phase 2
Pilot in manual controls and the next minute (major phase that causes phase 3)
Phase 3
Inevitable consequence of phase 2
Phase 2 is the largest in the course of the accident
The BEA report makes recommendations
When examined well .. some seem to be inspired by the fact that the pilots did not show a skill required for this type of event (in Phase 2)
It should not .. recommendations that are based on events of a incompetence .. and whose purpose would be to replace the pilot with even more automation of all kinds
This would still reduce the required skills .. and so have an adverse effect to the safety of flights
