There’s some of a point there, but it really comes under the umbrella of mode awareness? There are 6 autothrottle modes, 10 roll and 11 pitch ones, which is 660 combinations. OK, not all of those are...

I think someone pointed out earlier that this is what you get when the Children of the Magenta Line meet the Climate of Fear: It’s better to have an accident following rules, even if they are no...

I think there are several issues here, and, surprisingly, I don’t think lack of hand-flying/recency is the most prominent.

Most airlines, on somewhere near page one of their OM A, have a clause...

That’s true. But it also infers that the FD wasn’t followed at that point and/or effectively no-one was on the controls. Which is a possible scenario. Oh dear...

The 777 will happily take off and fly around without FDs, AT or even FBW. Airline SOPs, however, are generally more restrictive. I would expect EK to have mandated FD on (and probably to be followed...
