I hope the NTSB does address too much automation as a mitigation factor in this accident. Todays line pilots relay on so much automation, some pilots cant even safely fly a basic visual approach to a Rwy on a clear day with unlimited visibility.
You are right on the money... OTS PAPI, VASI, ILS/GS or whatever 28L did not have functioning for the approach is no excuses of what took place the final moments of Asiana 214 flight. Basic spot landing Pilot skills should have automatically kicked. This Skipper got distracted and allows his air speed to deteriorate beyond the point of quick recovery close to the ground.
I do think the charge of manslaughter or negligence homicide against the Captain should apply in this accident.
