What would cause a Rapid D?
Other than a structural event, what would cause a Rapid D? On a recent flight, the other pilot said he understands that a pack problem could be a source.
I wonder if that is a valid statement. Have any of you read anything on this?
If there is no structural problem, after the Rapid D procedures are complete and you are level at FL100, does the emergency still exist? Would you overfly the nearest/suitable to get to a place where maintenance is available?
Each situation will be different, however, it is a curiosity question.
