Checking the AAIB reports for October to read up the original report, it's interesting to see that juxtaposed next to the TC incident is this gem from Grand Cayman - defo worth a read if you agree with PM. The frequency of such events has been accelerating for many years - put simply, across the board, it seems as though we are gradually losing the ability to fly manually and simultaneously practise safe decision making. Could it be as simple as this?
We are not providing anything like sufficient opportunity to regularly practise manual flying skills, on line or in the sim.
