So lets review why a couple of incidents went "well"
Al Hayes DC10 Sioux City Iowa (Loss of all hydraulics)
Chesley Sullenberger Airbus A320 Hudson River NYC (Loss of power)
In both these cases
Someone took charge
Everyone did their jobs
There was clear communication internally and externally
This, to me, points to the highest levels of training and competency and all of the crews (FC and CC) should be commended for their exceptional professionalism. We should also commend the air traffickers, groundcrew and first responders for their part too.
Unfortunately no amount of HF/CRM training is going to overcome gross unprofessionalism on the part of Air Operators, Maintainers, FC and CC.
(Sorry, unprovoked and unnecessary rant over)
Hey tbc just put your backseaters in their place OK?
