let's say that the pilots
are as good as anyone posting here on pprune.
why go into a storm? only if they didn't know the storm was there would they go in.
wondering RADAR imperfections?
And speaking of upsets...wondering if you all remember the chinese 747, lost an engine in cruise...crew didn't notice...autopilot held altitude until airspeed was too slow...bam
they recovered and made a safe landing at KSFO...I personally saw what hapened to the horizontal stabilizer. I can imagine that the airbus 330 might not be quite as robust.
thoughts???????????
