G27, the pilots didn't follow the AB manual and if they were above obstacles not do the low altitude procedure but do the cruise prosedure of just hold present attitude for level flight and get out the UAS check list. They were new and inexperienced. They needed the only qualified pilot in the airplane to be in the cockpit but he was taking his break and they couldn't handle it. Hiring 300 hr pilots on automatic airplanes is not safe.
