Which one of the 'mistakes' do we put down to 'human fraility' - all of them?
Will the aftermath ensure that MPs ( co-pilot in this case) who will not say "boo to a ghost" are seriously reminded of their responsibilities or shown the door? Huge company culture scenario?
I 'killed' a v experienced instructor in the sim by deliberately crashing on approach to a rig - TWICE - and after him being reminded of his responsibilities before the exercise even began!
I am pretty sure this mistake would not have happened if the approach was able to be flown 'single-pilot'. Completely different mindset and not relying on loosely adhered too multi-pilot procedures.
Complacency due to routine/boredom/ego/over-familiarity - more human frailties - all we need to do now is take the human element out of it .............
Humans are not meant to fly but we insist on it and still pay 'lip service' to critical elements.
