Last July 6, Asiana Flight 214 reportedly hit the sea wall
ahead of Runway 28L at San Francisco International Airport which caused an
alarm to Boeing pilots.
Experienced Boeing pilots determined that an autoflight mode
called Flight Level Change (FLCH) may explain the cause of the said accident. Their
analyses are based on the information presented in NTSB briefings after the
crash.
“The pilots were initially high and fast on the approach but rapidly decreased speed and altitude to intercept a visual glideslope to the runway” according to NTSB.
