Something we pilots love is the fact that we never live two times the same flight. Had anybody here another experience ?
Automation & systems (what I call "butterfly") at the contrary work only with something that physicists call models, who are math algorithms. Math algorithm mimicks reality, but like some sodas mimick whisky, it is not whisky, it is not the reality. The pilot is mandatory to adapt the model to the reality and use safely the best usable mode to do the real flight.
The NTSB Dec 11. 2013 enquiry shows that Asiana SOPs and pilots trust only in math algorithms not very well adapted, and ignoring some situations like the loss of the glide !
That airline, these pilots have no ability to adapt their real flight to the infinite situations of flight always different, always new.
Butterfly can only do some very specified tasks.
