thanks al446 and eboy reply

yes al446 i agree
i was siting the MAN example as a complete confusion so that the poster
reventor could just see how ernest it is to get your surroundings rather than the his impression of briefing relevance can help you as well...

cheers for that

re eboy
was the us air accident a/c de-iced ?
i dont know, if it was,
the stuff leave a nasty mucky mess and the pilots on take off may select bleeds off on the engines to stop sucking up the stuff..

the outside air temp v the river water temp on the effect of icing the wings in the water when the pax were standing on them is of interest to me,
seems from info given from the pax is that the wings were icy within a couple of mins in the water...
if it had been de-iced before take off then im not sure if the effect remains
once it was in the water...
