I take it Aeroflot passenger evacuation procedures are not up to Western standards
"Peter Stickney" wrote in message ...
As communication was lost, and the jet started its turn to get back to the airport, it changed its transponder code to '7600' - NORDO (No Radio) given the highly integrated Flight Management/Comms systems on airliners these days (Transponders are entirely separate systems) it's not unreasonable to expect that all systems were degraded. One of the troubling things with airline flying these days is the heavy reliance on the autopilots and the Flight Management Systems. These days, on a typical flight, the Pilot Flying probably gets at most about 20 minutes of actual stick time. As the history of recent airline accidents (The 2 B737 Max and incidents with other aircraft (Air France 340 and Continental Connection 3407 come to mind) shows some real issues with aircrew having to deal with sudden-onset emergencies, where they have to take action immediately, and airmanship issues that, frankly, are troubling. Would you REALLY want to fly in an automated, pilotless plane? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLrIXptqZxw Qantas Flight 72: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fVfAWcNu40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3q5S9PCoJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJx6ChiXqrg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cSh_Wo_mcY Air Inter Flight 148: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4RIZ7ZG_44 Air France Flight 296: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bi8jg9BY9Y |
