[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you reading this and thinking of blaming the pilot being evaluated-I am an attending physician and this is akin to letting a trainee go off the rails (during a surgery/in terms of a treatment plan, etc.)

I would consider myself (and literally my entire profession would consider me) at fault if I allowed an overtly incompetent trainee to kill patient/s. I have to assume it’s similar in aviation. [/quote]
This. I work at a hospital. We always tell new attendees during orientation, everyone makes mistakes. You will not be liable for what is a genuine mistake. Let's work together to PREVENT mistakes and then we talk about how (double checking everything, even if it seems silly, etc.)

But we would NOT allow a doctor to let a resident operate, and stand there while the resident was doing something tricky they clearly weren't ready for. THAT would be bad. [/quote]

You both are confused and don’t know what you are taking about.  This isn’t a “resident and attending” situation.  The pilot has not in training.  She had already completed flight school and all the necessary training.  This was an annual training exercise that all the pilots in their unit had to do annually and rotate who is evaluating and who is the one being evaluated. [/quote]
