To Gus's point at 31 minutes; I have seen it time and time again with older pilots, they revert to turning off all automation (autopilot and autothrottles) when the situation gets busy so they can have "control." This is an incorrect thought process and always results in a loss of awareness of their surroundings. My rule of thumb is you lose 50 IQ points when you thought the flight controls.
i live for the weekly episodes of black box down 🥺

I should really check out the backlog of episodes not on UA-cam.
I am doing that lately and really enjoying it
Yh if you haven't, you do get a lot of Gus saying "remember when we covered XYZ" and you don't remember 😆

Yikes.
Spatial Disorientation, task saturation, and a loss of situational awareness. This is an example of poor pilot ability that unfortunately cost lives.
Love this podcast so much
