The issue here would be whether the knowledge available could be expected to be used by the individuals concerned and whether it was indeed provided for that purpose. Furthermore, one could...

I am a general aviation pilot (biplanes, biplanes, biplanes) so I hope you will forgive me if my suppositions are wrong. I always understood it that modern civil airliners flew with a set of...

Turbine D
I would argue that what we are doing is very definitely not 'hindsight'. To my mind the question with hindsight is 'could the actions taken in the past have been avoided with the knowledge...

The evidence there is that the PF induced that particular nose down attitude 'There, I've taken it down a bit' to quote. The human element is still the major issue here. Bringing in the FD...

An altitude 200 feet below the assigned level is not in itself major reason for concern and it doesn't look like the PF's reaction to this situation was appropriate. I am also interested...

If we do indeed assume that the PF was 'unbelted' a simple statement to his colleague - 'You have the controls' would be enough. He could then deal with whatever issues he had and retake...
