Process as product.
Before the whiz-bang computer did all the flight planning chores for pilots, we had to get out charts, approach plates, supplements, etc, and go through an information gathering process as we built flight plan, alternates, and fuel ladder/fuel plan.
In ths process, such things as airport diagrams, were airfield is located vis a vis local geography (particularly for unfamiliar fields) and lther fields, and a lot of other detail had to be looked into before ever taking off. Just by digging into that detail, getting one's hands dirty, once could find any number of interesting local issues to be on guard for.
For an airliner, on standard routes, some of that function can come in a pre made flight packet. All well and good, but a given crew may go to one location more than others, and not be as familiar with a given locale as other crews are.
On a given day, what process does the average FO and CAPT go thorugh in discussing the take off, and then each of the planned destinations, and alternates, for that days sectors flown for the company?
"As loaded in the FMS" strikes me as a severe short circuit of the process of becoming familiar with where one is going before one takes off.
Just a thought from a luddite.
As con-pilot points out, even with that old process as a helpful tool toward focing SA into one's planning, people still ended up in the wrong place.
