Emergency Food Rations?
Hi everybody,
Apologies for posting here (it's my first time out of Private Flying) but I had a question which I hope a professional pilot would be able to answer.
I read in a book published some years ago that passenger airliners carry sufficient emergency rations for everyone on board, in the form of dried food. This is supposedly kept at the rear of the hold (presumably to protect it from crash damage). The idea being that this food could be eaten by survivors in the event of a crash in a remote location such as a jungle or similar.
Can anyone confirm or deny whether this is indeed true?
