OK465:

BOAC:

BOAC:



The only point I was making that your previous statement disagreed with the time line. Now, you bring in the captain's state of mind. You're certainly right on that one, but that...

That is a valid argument. The same argument was made about Charted Visual Flight Procedures (CVFP) when they first appeared in the U.S.

Centaurus:



The F/O knew they were headed for a crash into terrain. The captain apparently did not. So, under the doctrine of "the last clear chance" to avoid an accident, the F/O failed...
