Smoke/fumes Removal
Smoke/fumes Removal
Just put his on another thread (SR 111 romours & news)...too lazy to type it twice

Interesting tapes
There is another discussion going on over in "terms and endearments" wrt DHL and a high occurence of fumes in the flight deck
DANNY (or other moderator) that thread really deserves to be "headlined" here (R & N)...just delete the juvenile stuff from the company man....it really is an important topic
Not sure about the MD 11 QRH/NNC...but Boeing categorically states "LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT" in its smoke/fumes removal checklist (something the DHL guys could do, to push their point/protect their health)
Looks like the SR guys had this "in mind" but weren't pressing it at the time (long checklists, I hear)...nice to hear the thomsonfly guys recently said "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY" at the outset, and no-one was in any confusion as to their status...SR declared a PAN and later "an emergency"...but listening to it all, it didn't seem ATC really understood the predicament they were in..until too late
