Hi all, just being reading about a few incidents mainly the AEU 733 back in 2004.
The Aircraft was enroute to LBA, When the Aircon clamp went.
I am not an engineer, But I would have thought that there would be a 'back - up' system or such.
It doesn't sound a nice experience descending to 10,000 from 35,000 in about 2 mins, Obviously causing alot of panick & distress.
Putting most pax off flying for life.
Have most commercial jets only got one aircon clamp, Or are some better made than others??
Would have thought Boeing would have ensured that a de - pressurisation was immune from happening??
Been told that an Aircon clamp can fail at any time - just like a clutch on a car.
Pressume that the newer Airbus/Boeing models have full back up Aircon equipment nowadays??
Making de - pressurisation an event of the past.
Just trying to get an idea from a flyer's point of view.
