Failing in that basic item of airmanship they could have considered all the other cues of a lack of thrust.
They hit the ground at 125 knots.
I never claimed the crew didn't fail. The crew failed. Did I mention that the crew failed?
For the avoidance of doubt, the crew failed. Is three times enough?
I take issue with ascribing zero blame to the automatics.
The automation silently refused a command for thrust with airspeed above 125 knots without weight on all the wheels.
Instead of describing why the crew effed up (they did, that's four times), can anyone describe why the automatics were perfectly correct?
