Hmmm ... now Spanair declares that, because both pilots left the cockpit for several hours, they were suppossed to check the TOWS alarms again for this flight.
And they said they did, according to Spanair. But they did it before the first return to gate.
I am sorry but I have never heard of that. As far as I know, the only TOWS check performed was at the first flight BCN-MAD.
@sevenstrokeroll
the RAT probe being heated on the ground meant that the plane ''thought'' it was in the air. Pulling the RAT heater CB didn't do anything to the ground control relay etc. THE PLANE ALREADY THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE AIR and another CB didn't need to be pulled...
That is what I believe the more relevant to the accident.
The famous P40 breaker at Detroit was pulled out due to "unknown reasons"
The same cause wings1011 is talking about at the Lanzarote's "almost accident" and I believe something has to see at Madrid. Seems to me the P40 "the hand that rocks the cradle" is still ignored by the authorities.
