Do we have to start locking these things away from certain third world aviators? First Air Asia and now this from the Trigana AT42 crash:
I get the very strong impression that basic airmanship alone isn't cutting it anymore. Pilots need to be educated on the essential nature of these systems and that, no matter how much of a "nuisance" they are, you can't just pull them.
Ironically, when LOT flt 16 could have been spared the indignity of a belly landing with a simple CB reset, nobody thought of this...
More CB knowledge up there please.
These experiences led to the pilot behaviour of pulling the EGPWS circuit breaker to eliminate nuisance of EGPWS warning.
The management had identified some pilots including the accident pilot with behaviour of pulling EGPWS CB.
Yeah, that's right, 'pilots', pural. Culture. The management had identified some pilots including the accident pilot with behaviour of pulling EGPWS CB.
