Lemurian,
That incident comes from 1/- some very flippant conceptions of SOPs, and 2/- an incomplete knowledge of the airplane systems and emergency procedures. I might add that 1 and 2 generally go in pairs.
Neatly dodged.Blame the crew.Did Airbus introduce this NNC before or after these incidents?Were they responding to the loss of braking incidents or did they fully realise at the design stage that a complete loss of braking was possible and that the reasons for this loss would not be readily apparent to the crew(or indicated to the crew!) such that a NNC would have to be implemented?
Now if Airbus ever promote you to
PR chief,I am going out and buying all the EADS shares I can because I think you could sell freezers to the eskimos.
