Smoke in the cocpit (Swissair 111)
I have just watched a rather sobering reconstruction of the Swissair 111 fire and crash off Halifax Canada, and was just wondering if any of you have had any training on where and how to get access behind those cocpit panels if you really had the need to investigate ?
In addition, do you have any 'tools' that would help you to access them? Post September 11, I cannot carry my handy little 'multi-tool' with its phillips screwdriver, pliers, pen knife, etc. The only 'implement' left is the crash axe which would probably create more problems that it would solve.
Should our 'hands-on' training include such advice as well as the life rafts drill, emergency exit, slides etc .etc.
Any thoughts ?
