Hard to believe really. The following also interests me
The first officer reported that, after the captain took control of the airplane, he scanned the altimeter and airspeed to gain situational awareness but that he became distracted by the runway "rushing" up to them and "there was no time to say anything."
He scanned the altimeter and airspeed at 27 ft?
This inclination to be inside when you should be outside is something I am seeing more and more of as the years go by. It is totally inappropriate but seems to be more and more common with people coming out of the training system. Why was the F/O high in the first place? If he had just looked out the window more he probably wouldn't have been. I quite often see people scanning their instruments very very low to the ground and it rarely ends well.
What is happening with our training systems that people who were quite competent at landing a C172 now abandon those skills and stare at their screens?
