It’s like seeing someone make a half court shot in basketball at the buzzer and wondering why other players don’t do the same. You could adjust the probability

It’s like seeing someone make a half court shot in basketball at the buzzer and wondering why other players don’t do the same. You could adjust the probability to it being a 3 pt shot, dunk, or free throw.
The failures in the Boeing 737 introduced a significant probability of unrecoverable failure. The fact that a few pilots managed to recover does not mean that the ones who didn’t recover did something wrong.
On the other hand, the fact that 2 crews with over decades of safely flying planes were unable to recover from the same plane indicates it had a lot to do with the issues in the plane.

- rootusrootus 7y agoSorry to confuse, I am not really interested in assigning blame. I am more interested to see what can be learned from this so flying continues to get safer. That will include looking at how the pilots responded to the training material in practice, and figuring out how that plays into designing future procedures, documentation, and training. I get that nobody here seems to have much appreciation for human factors, but I fly a lot. I do care :)
- ricardobeat 7y agoThe entire discussion does revolve around human factors; how decisions were made, how the changes were designed to avoid the need for retraining, and in this specific article, designed to hide a change under the guise of preserving standard procedures for the people flying the plane. I’m not sure what other angle you’re after.
