So, WHERE is the failure or WHY is it that the PROCEDURE didn’t go correctly if the pilots could have looked out of the window and made a safe approach.
Spot on Jack, there is so much talking and FCU fiddling as encouraged by our SOP's that pilots don't have the capacity to look out the window or have an understanding of track miles to run. Our management thinks it is pilots not following procedures that is causing the problem, I would argue that it is a lack of basic awareness, that is influenced by our complex and ever changing procedures that is the problem.
