Love the bureaucrats. If they'd only briefed the go-around or missed approach procedures, or called stable, this all might have been prevented.

How about getting guys to do basic automation off flying? All of the nonsense generated by mode confusion would have never occurred with a simple switch to basic, low automation mode, flying.

And it's obvious, just like in the Korean Air 777 crash in KSFO, that neither pilot ever checked the N1's below 500'. Never. Or else they would have called out the inappropriate power setting.

It gets tiring reading these reports, over and over again. "Did you ever check your power setting?" "Did you ever set up a basic, non automation mode, and fly the airplane like it's been done for the majority of the time since the Wright brothers first flew?" The answers to both questions are no. Until the industry gets their head around this issue we'll have to keep hoping it just doesn't happen more often.
