I too would like to know more about the A340's autoland.
I'd also like to know if any of you with A340 operational experience know of any reason why the passenger quoted on CBC tv described a complete power failure in the cabin (which I assume meant the lights went out - see below), one minute before his sense of the "crash" starting.
Any idea?
Here is the quote (I've heard this audio re-broadcast on the BBC):
"The power shut down completely. That was because of the rain or the very heavy winds or whatever," said the unidentified passenger. "One minute before we crashed completely, there was no more light in the plane. It was really really scary," he added.
Thanks!
