So, sky gods hold your peace. Thank your lucky stars that it did not happened to you. Hope that the manufacturers come up with equipments without all those design flaws; get the designers to think like average sensible pilots
AYE AYE, Admiral. It would have probably dumbfounded me too and I am mighty glad IT DID NOT HAPPENED TO ME.
Having said that, I also agree with the assertion that they AF447 crew SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THEMSELVES into that situation. Avoid ITCZ type weather like plague, never try to outclimb CBs.
Avoiding situations that calls for superior skills is the key to survival. This strategy will never get one into the headlines as heroes saving a crippled plane but keeps one flying smoothly and cooly into quiet retirement.
