As I mentioned earlier, I suspect that after this, there will be a tightening up of SOPs for use of automation, something which has mostly been at pilot's discretion up to now.
When I watched the 225 being introduced on to the NS, I could see that overnight pilots were being expected to move from 60's technology to 00's.
The level of automation of the 225 has been in airline use for a considerable number of years. Airlines have learned the hard way of the mistakes that can be made and have modified SOPs and cultures in light of that.
Should a fundamental review of SOPs for the L2 and 225 come about, I would highly recommend that either senior NS pilots go to an airline and see how they do things, or, better still, bring in airline people to offer advice.
