studi ,
The Swiss air crash was due to SOP fixation, the right answer was to get the crate back on the ground asap and not float around doing check lists until the aircraft becomes un flyable!
I appreciate that i have the benefit of hind sight but in a similar situation i would have landed asap even if it ment an overweight landing!
I always brief my F/o's that in the event of fire we will land asap regardless of a/c weight!
