Question of the Week

According to the Wall Street Journal, the crew of Air France 447 got so wrapped up in the management of systems they forgot to "fly the airplane" as so many of us had drummed into us.

Has automation made us safer — or more vulnerable?

Automation is good, but training to compensate for its failure has to be just as good.
There is no substitute for a competent, diligent pilot regardless of the type of information displays.
