[Milsurplus] ( OT ) Lion Air 737

[Peter Gottlieb]

Interesting.  It's odd though that they said a couple of times the pilots 
weren't aware of the procedures for runaway trim.  It's been a very deliberate 
part of training for every small plane I've been in and is even part of some 
checklists to assure that the methods work before leaving the ground.  I find it 
hard to fathom that a 737 pilot does not know how to do this.

P.S. Are the new automatic braking and adaptive cruise systems in cars leading 
us all into such situations?
