I am a very big believer in automation. I love it. Use it to its full potential nearly every day at work.

However.... I also know when automation is simply not suitable. One of the very big keys to effective automation management, is to be 5 steps ahead of the computers at all times. The old saying, "What's it doing? What's it going to do? What have I told it to do?". If you're trying to play catchup and its all going pear shaped, then either one of two things have to happen. Either you put yourself in a position where you can slow it all down and catch up again, or you simply get rid of it all and go back to basics.

Looking at a few of the comments around the aviation world so far, it appears the crew forgot the simple and most basic of things - Fly the aircraft.

"Don't ever let an airplane take you someplace where your brain hasn't arrived at, at least a couple of minutes earlier", may have some relevance here.

Well this is ridiculous. How that could have passed through to broadcasting is beyond embarrassing.

And the fact they quoted the NTSB verified the names...

I'm sure they did...

Well, this is what the NTSB had to say (see http://www.ntsb.gov/news/2013/130712.html)

NTSB statement on erroneous confirmation of crew names
July 12

The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.

Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.

A comment from someone on LinkedIn today...

"The crew was so far behind that airplane that, nearly a week after the crash, they're not injured yet."

Smile SFO CRASH
Wonder what the results would have been if it had been a 787 in the same position?
