  1. The non-judgmental approach to accident investigation in aviation is and should be a model to all forms of accident/near-miss investigation, so that lessons can be learned.

  2. While a return was possible, to do so would have been against all their training and US Airways SOPs, so that was never going to happen.

  3. I would imagine that it was at least as common for Air Traffic Controllers as it is for pilots. Thank you to all controllers for persevering with their training.

  4. The role of the Monitoring Pilot is not only to monitor the flight but also the Pilot Flying. While this incapacitation was subtle, it was the captain's job as Pilot Monitoring to spot this and intervene effectively.

  5. When the captain called "My aircraft" and didn't get a response from the First Officer, this should have prompted him to hit the red button. I'm suprised that this experienced captain did not do this.

  6. While CRM is enormously important, this incident isn't principally an issue of CRM. It is an issue with the Monitoring Pilot not effectively assessing that the Pilot Flying has become incapacitated. The speed at which this incapacitation happened clearly caught the Monitoring Pilot by surprise.
