The NTSB met June 24 to rule on a cause of the July 2013 accident, saying the crew "over-relied on automated systems that they did not fully understand" and citing mismanagement as key factors in the accident. Pilots were confused whether an automated system was maintaining speed.
'Pilots must understand and command automation, not become over-reliant on it. The pilot must always be the boss.'
