Reply to comment by GeekFurious in Medical services plane crashed in Nevada, killing 5, after apparently breaking up mid-flight, NTSB says | CNN by 5xad0w

That specific pilot had let his kid sit in the cockpit and play with the controls and then didn’t realize the auto pilot got turned off. Bit more ignorance than mistake imo

Yeah. But if you watch the whole video, this captain had a lot of issues with following the rules and handling incidents well.

How sad. If he would have just let the auto pilot take over they would have pulled out of it.

A lot of accidents in the past few decades happened because the captain skirted the rules and seemingly didn't think they needed to follow basic checklists.
