Avionics Magazine
ARINC,
interesting post and thanks for the link to avionics magazine have saved it in my favourites.
" Pilots therefore are about 5,000 times more likely to face a smoke event than a failed engine."
A collegue told me of a nasty avionics fire he had a few years ago in the A320 in Milan. cockpit filled with smoke couldn't see landed with autoland, AIRBUS changed their avionics smoke procedure after that apparently.
Dreamland,
Sounds like you have common sense.
Interesting how we define common sense in regards to reporting defects, deferring items and grounding aircraft.
