hello will fraser
i joined this forum because of the catastrophy we re going trough.i m a former B747 100/200/300 AF captain.i flew many times from DKR to EZE with our s cargo planes.at that time we had only AVQ 10 radar WX.monochrome of course.
so to say that we were experienced enough to do the job ..
as a senior captain,i trained a lot of F/O not to care about the position report in case of WX deviation.who cares?you are on your own.there s no radar coverage.what you need is common sense.............enough fuel .
for the rest you can easily deal with your T CAS.
and if you have any delay for your next position dakar control don t bother
what you said in a trhead above is terrific.

It doesn't take a genius to conclude that the line is not only hoping for, but trying to lay the foundation for, pilot error.
How convenient, predictable, and deceitful.
For an aircraft that makes much of its automation, to the exclusion of the necessity for brilliant airmanship, only to see such aircraft dump the flight on the humans when it can't keep up seems, what, ironic??
