Shep you say:
One cannot make the assertion that had the ILS been in service it would have prevented the accident. People screw up ILSs too. Anything can be screwed up if one tries hard enough.
Fair enough. Later on however, when describing what could be done approach-wise, you say:
The autothrottles will also go from HLD to SPD when doing this and would have prevented this accident.
Just curious how you can make that assertion?
