'Task-saturated' first officer could not overrule captain

摘要

A disagreement between the pilot and co-pilot, an undetected autopilot mode change and a compass error preceded the fatal crash of First Air Flight 6560 in Nunavut, Canada in 2011, according to findings released on 25 March by the country's Transport Safety Board (TSB). The 20 August incident that killed 12 of the 15 passengers and crew aboard the chartered Boeing 737-200 combi (C-GNWN) highlights concerns about effective crew resource management and automation-derived confusion, the TSB report concludes.
