Early GPWS systems were prone to false warnings, when the real thing was happening the crew ignored the warning.
Maybe someone else here can remember the date and airline.
If that's the one where the flight crew got the two NDB's mixed up, automation didn't cause that one either.mar said:Flying Tigers at Kuala Lumpur.

The NTSB website would be a good place to look as well, but I'm betting the reason that Diesel is having a hard time finding information for his paper, is that there is a dearth of information regarding automation causing CFIT accidents.PJO said:I'll sugest you go to ASRS web site and FAA website. In the ASRS web you will find good feedback from the pilots in some of the report. Ihope you find this info helpfull to you.

Good luck
Yea, that would be automation causing a CFIT accident. Not that pilots are supposed identify, verify and do instrument scans or anything remotely close to that...because that would be considered flight crew negligence. Unless someone could prove that the training department was negligent in training the flight crew. Maybe the company that built the plane was negligent in telling the company about the mode control panel and all the funny looking buttons on it.imacdog said:Wasn't there an airbus accident or near-accident where the crew accidentally punched in a descent of 3000fpm instead of 3.0 degrees?
