Latest Qf Incident,where Will All This End

[mmmbop]

Dick,

One of the facts being overlooked is that this incident only happened on descent with enough nose down attitude to get the water needed to travel forward to reach the GCUs. As a result the chances of it happening mid Pacific are VERY slim.

If by some chance in a godzillion this had happened over the Pacific (EXTREME turbulence for eg) basic control could to be maintained, however the lack of a standby AH would make orientation in IMC or at night a difficult task. Extreme workload on the Tech crew, but definitely not insurmountable (given a good bit of luck!)

ps and b4 somebody states the bleedingly obvious that if we were in extreme turb we wouldnt be able to maintain control of a/c without an AH, my point is that(without trying to say the words exactly) in straight & level cruise this ISNT going to happen
