Part 9/10:
Following this near-fatal event, investigation revealed systemic failures in workload management during critical phases of flight, particularly concerning the auto-throttle system's unreliability. This incident raised significant questions regarding pilot training and preparedness to handle malfunctions such as unnoticed auto-throttle disconnections.
The Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing subsequently examined improvements to cockpit warning systems. While previous practices may have failed to notify pilots adequately through visual signals, modern systems now provide more robust feedback to prevent similar incidents.
