Interesting point there C.M.
May I assume that you've probably suffered the consequences of one of these ? They're not unusual , especially if you've got a hold full of perishable goods.
I haven’t (yet) but there are a few reasons that prompted me to ask this . I could put here all the technical explanations about the design of the system , it’s flaws , things I see in the simulator, and that would lead to a never ending discussion . I am not here to start the usual debate over these issues . I simply want to know if someone suggested utilizing the cargo temperature indication as a means of expediting a landing toward any airport ( you decide to assume the worse and always stay in a mayday situation ) or taking more time to proceed to a better option perhaps a bit further .
