Like reading airspeed and altitude ribbons and hearing an enunciator?

I can see their point. I've seen a 3 person crew miss a "malfunctioning" gauge in the sim for more than a couple minutes. If an abnormal reading is not something you usually scan in your cross-check, it might get missed. Generally, I doubt airspeed or altitude would get missed that way!

Airspeed and altitude keep you alive. If you miss those you are in the wrong career.

I might miss fuel temprature or o2 pressure for a few min.
Airspeed, altitude, attitude, fuel burn? If you miss those then there is always barber college. |

Didn't the pitot system freeze and cause alt and as gauge issues ( among other things) on the airplane in the Atlantic that stalled and crashed?

Yes it did. At some point whilst falling 30,000 ft one would think if pulling back is not workimg, maybe we should try something different. Dependence on the automation and lack of basic stick and rudder skills helped produce that accident.

Asses are useful for more than just sitting on........some older aviators actually used them for another sensory input.

Yeah...trusting your inner ear/seat of the pants over your instruments during night IMC flight is something most people try to avoid...
That said, I don't know why someone would continue to pull back on the controls for more than a few seconds without thinking about a stall. |

Are you trying to cast dispersion on the tried and true "cat and duck" method of IMC operations? You young whipper - snappers.... Have you ever done "timed turns" or "magnetic compass only" instrument flight? Needle ball & oil pressure unusual attitudes. Back course ADF circling approach? |

Or, spend some of the time in cruise knowing what is in the abnormal checklist. |

I think the article is accurate. Just ask Captain Sum Ting Wong how hard it is to pay attention to a stupid airspeed indicator.
