Some extracts from this article, looking at the final report:
Asiana Airlines flight 214 crash caused by Boeing planes being 'overly complicated' - Americas - World - The Independent
I have added amphasis to the points I found most interesting.
Acting chairman Chris Hart said that, between them, the three veteran pilots were found to have committed between 20 and 30 errors in their final approach to San Francisco International – varying from minor to highly significant.
Perhaps the most serious came from the 45-year-old captain Lee Kang Kuk, who was new to the 777. Kuk inadvertently prevented the plane’s “autothrottle” system from maintaining speed on approach for landing.
US investigators called on the manufacturer to make changes to the increasingly complicated automated controls which, they claimed, pilots no longer “fully understand”.
Hart said the accident underscores a problem that has long troubled aviation regulators around the world – that complicated automated aircraft controls, designed to improve safety, are creating new opportunities for human error.
The Asiana flight crew “over-relied on automated systems that they did not fully understand,” Hart said.
It is interesting that he says "has long troubled aviation regulators around the world" no mention of the numerous flight crew who have been shouting about this.
