I quoted two accidents. 1990 Airbus no feed back in the stick, throttles static fully serviceable 3 year old aircraft unlimited visibility aircraft fatally crashed killing even the pilots. 2013 SFO Boeing 777 conventional yoke, tactile feed back moving thrust levers weather and aircraft same as Bangalore crashed on finals. The only similarity in the two is pilots did not monitor speed. Bangalore it was -27KTS in SFO -30KTS. There are two categories of pilots first category lost their raw data skill and scan over a period of time by over reliance on automation. They forgot that instrument scan is no different on auto pilot or manual flying, only difference on auto is pilot just monitors all parameters. Second category they never acquired the skill in the first place. I see some cases where an experienced captain is unable to fly raw data during type rating on a new aircraft. Why should that happen if your scan is intact? Same classic T is used in PFD of any aircraft. Faulty or insufficient training and non critical refresher and checking are main causes.
