I fly with guys now that are so dependent on the autopilot and FMS. The FMS took a crap, and on two separate flights I had 2 15000 hr. FO's that couldn't hold a VOR radial from TEB to FL. No f ing concept of wind correction and they were lost when they got a crossing restriction with nothing to calculate it for them. So what did they do, they just descended about 100 miles early...
My God...I see
Couldn't agree more!
Fox news SFO covered this item very poorly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSw8MafUBM0&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DWSw8MafUBM0
In one of the squawks else where certain data of speed and height have been mentioned by an expert reader. His last comment, rather a conclusive one, " quite a roller coaster ride " needs attention. Is it not possible that either the instruments were playing'hide and seek' or the environment? Latter is less likely. And by the time the pilot/s made a visual observation of proximity with the ground , it was too late for a corrective action ! The the oral evidence of the cock pit crew and the black box will give most answers. Let us not jump to conclusions of any kind.
So tell me...between the two of you...what exactly goes on with regard to the proximity of your hand with the throttle levers. When there were three crew members the engineer always always had aclose control of the the levers.
What is it with you current guys?
