We don’t know. They didn’t either before it was too late to recover, obviously. You look at something like the Asiana triple disaster at SFO and think, how is that even remotely possible? 13 years ago now. But as all the contributing factors came to light, they painted a much different picture. Especially to those familiar with such cockpit dynamics, auto throttle function and descent momentum of heavy airliners.
