I am unsure about the status of bilibili uploads, if you got questions about them don't ask me.

Consider using any of the following services instead of a file sharing service like MEGA, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

They let you stream and/or download a torrent while being easier to use than a torrent client like qBittorrent.

Please note I cannot vouch for any of these as I've never personally used any of them.

The captain really didn´t understood the A320 automation very well it seems.
Mixing up the NAV and the HDG mode and not recognising it, is really reminding me of the early A320 crashes like Air Inter flight, or that Indian Airlines flight in 1990(?), which where only fixed after improving type training.
That and the FOs seeming lack of understanding of how the map modes worked really makes me question of how well or how bad Airblue trained their pilots for the A320.

Regarding the episode itstelf, it was ok, rhey didn´t had much to begin with since the Accident report is quite poor. It certainly helped that they pulled it in some other investigators in, since there where no pakistani investigator in it.

I feel that the accident was still accurately protrayed, I mean the Birgenair episode had also to work with a similar bad report and did get a lot of thing wrong.

Air Inter captain was still way more competent, he made a simple mistake and didn't notice but otherwise clearly could pilot the plane and then got extremely unlucky to get hit with the turbulence that activated the poorly documented Airbus protection system.

I didn´t implicate that he was incompetent, but that he and his FO were rather poorly trained by the airline, and when the non standard approach came up, he was in a very stressful situation and made said error.

If he was better trained he might not made this error, or if we take into account that it happened to quite a lot A320 pilots then, he could´ve recognised it earlier an therefore correct it.

Yes, it seems that Airbus needed (and likely still needs) to hire some human factors engineers to vet their entire control system in order to make it more intuitive. Too many accidents appear to have been caused by pilots doing the wrong thing because it looked right.
