More left field scenarios that allow us to press on regardless, or give us the belief that we can press on regardless?
The answer to this was always to stop the approach and take a moment to sort out the height problem. That should be the point of training, not to develop techniques to allow the sort of macho attitudes displayed in this incident.
Capacity was the problem here and spending more time in the sim will not increase that significantly, it may help you to realise when your bucket is full and to try to give yourself more time but not if your training department is pushing you into situations whereby it is acceptable to press on.
The brave and macho thing to do would have been to accept that they had messed up and broken off the approach, accepting that we can mess up and owning the error and the consequences of that error are what HF is all about. While we try to develop ways of pressing on rather than accepting we cannot and must do something positive this sort of incident/ accident will continue to happen.
This is a cultural problem - Air France seem to have a problem within their safety culture, this is not their first press-on-itis incident.
