They will start with the wreckage patterns and mathematically work probable search areas.
??? Confused...
Wouldnt they have been doing this since June? Or were the pesky Brazilians in the way?
@aguadalte I had my SIM Training today. One of the things we had to deal with was, en-route ADR2 failure, followed by ADR disagreement due to Volcanic Ashes...and Double Engine Failure (A330), due to the same reason. Attitude, Attitude, Attitude (all Pitots blocked by ashes).
It seems an improbable situation. (yeah, sometimes a guy has to think twice before leaving home) But, when the "Gods" are against us, s**t happens...and it ended up with the Ditching Paper Check-List...
Fascinating... of course with 'only' 4 hours sim time, there isnt enough time to duplicate the 3 hours of complete relative boredom with the plain on autopilot before S**T happens!
Question: Is the list of events known to you in advance? or are they 'sprung' on you by surprise? -regards
p.s. Hope you 'passed' lol
