Maybe there was crew error, maybe not, but at this stage we don't know so why not cut the crew a bit of slack as we would do if they were white?
The unfortunate truth is hard to swallow I'm afraid ! Say did you hear that NATO has recommended that all future advance training of 2 of its tactical helicopter squadrons deployed in Easter Europe should only be trained by Nigerian military pilots ( probably due to the superior training they receive)

If you cannot fly a circuit with the AP off on a 76 you should not fly the 76.

Bahhh
