Not sure with that one. Tricky. Maybe cabin crew would benefit more from such training. We can't train for every eventuality.

What I think would be appropriate training would be to carry out training for overweight landings, if not already carried out by operators. I am not implying for one minute it would have saved SR 111. I stand to be corrected, but I believe A/C are landed at MTOW during test quite successfully.

Some manufacturers checklists, seem to concentrate a lot on trouble shooting initially, then talk about landing at a later (too late?) stage.

If there is a fire, get the thing on the ground as quickly as possible, if near a suitable airport. That's what we are all taught in basic training are we not?

Souls maybe able to exit a wrecked A/C on or near a runway, but almost impossible in the air.
