Wow! I hadn't expected so many replies so soon!!
Thanks everyone for your information and sources - this will give me tons with which to work...
Re the 737 incident, I think I'm confusing two different events.. I think now one was a) involving Airtiurs and b) the other was Kegworth (if that is the one in which they ended up near the Motorway??) Anyway I shall look up both.
I can't believe QF1 didn't occur to me - it is a pet subject of one of our lecturers (whose main interest is human factors and so forth). I guess mainly I had been looking at that incident from a FD perspective...
This also ties in well with the whole subject of procedures and automation.... how much is too much before crew become over-reliant on SOPs or automation (e.g. crew following an SOP in emerg situation even if it doesn't make sense.... )
Top job, all!! Very much appreciated!!!!
Will let you know what I come up with...!
(Just gotta get up the nerve for the speech part.......)
