Monitoring automation is easy. It's when it fails or does something you don't expect that the trouble starts.

Firstly, NASA disagrees with the first comment, so they are researching other solutions, but perhaps in the wrong direction: the second brings me back to the requirements of basic training, both simulator & LT. Simulator should focus on learning to FLY the BEAST and a bit of operating; LT should be focused on OPERATING the BEAST and consolidating some of the flying skills.

The TQ training and LT training has removed too much of the flying bit and airmanship has all but disappeared. SOP's have replaced airmanship. There needs to be a quantum shift. What will be the motivating factor, and who will bite the bullet?
