Air Canada A320 accident at Halifax
I might have missed it but no one seems to have mentioned the flight directors. I would assume that during the instrument approach the autopilot was in use, either as a fully managed approach or in nav/FPA. Once visual the FDs should have been turned off. It's worth giving some thought as to what would have happened if they had been left on. For example if an FPA of 3 degrees was set but not followed because the crew were now visual and aiming at the runway. The situation would be somewhat similar to the Korean 777, except of course for all those airbus protections..... Until 100RA. Thoughts anyone?
