Two pilots watched a Turkish 737 enter flare mode and crash from 2000 agl. The aircraft doesn't matter. The training and attitude of the pilots does matter.
I think it is about time AF hired some expat DECs and instructors to bring them in line with the 20th century.
Basic Airmanship
Fireflybob and Tchaikovsky,
I totally agree with all you have said. This incident appears to be yet another occurrence of over reliance in automation and complacency. It is unsurprising but bares little satisfaction that it has occurred to AF.
Was merely pointing out where the 737 differs from an Airbus. Irregardless of type, the role of the pilot shouldn't change. The accident in Toronto , the accident over the Southern Atlantic and now this shows a reaccurring trend with AF. It's hard to think it is all possible?
