Crash Revisited: NTSB Cites Pilot Mismanagement
It Was the Pilots
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has cited pilot mismanagement and confusion in the crash of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco in 2013. The Agency also blamed the system’s complexity in the accident that cost the lives of three passengers.
We’ve called attention to this before (here) and care about this because the auto industry appears hell bent on creating cars with the same
sorts of automated systems, albeit ground-based. In fact, recent advertising from Hyundai touting their crash avoidance system hints that drivers no longer need to pay any attention at all!
The industry should pay very close attention to, and heed the experience of, our aviation brethren. Automated systems do require operator attention. And if highly trained and experienced pilots can get confused, what chance does the average driver have?
