fincastle - yes there is a video, cadets are supposed to watch before they go to the AEF, then watch it again on arrival; the problem is that kids just switch off, thinking it will never happen to them.

Interestingly enough, my daugther was flying a couple of weeks later at her AEF and she said everyone sat quietly watching the video, engrossed in the emergency procedures.

But, TBH, if you read the report in total, no cadet would have got out in time at the altitude and angle of descent, panic would have set in and with the limited mobility of the pilot would have reduced the actions in the cockpit.

RIP both.
