British Mediterranean Airways flight intercepted over the Netherlands

realistic concern

this thread gives the opportunity for me to ask others what they really think about the non-com procedures we find in the Jepp manuals.

i fly out of STN and from time to time i actually read the emergency sections and each time i come away with a feeling of hopelessness. not only is there a general section that gives ICAO things to do, but each country has it's own section which is further divided into individual airport/area procedures. to try to remember all these different emergency procedures is a real test, and to imagine trying to read and do in a real situation gives me the heebiejeebies.

after reading that section, i wished that each aircraft had a minimum of sixteen different com radios, each with it's own independent power source and antenna.

are your books just as complicated?
