I doing ok
Clandestino, thanks,
Old Carthusian may now realize that instruments don’t necessarily tell what the flight control inputs are …
Now for you
Clandestino :
You are the Captain on AF447, as you enter the flight deck the stall warning stops, the pitch is going down.
- The equipment is a A-330, you don’t know for sure which pilot has control and don’t know which inputs are applied.
- The equipment is a A-310, you see the right seater with 2 hands on the control wheel to maintain it to his stomach for half a minute.
Which scenario do you consider the most informative for you ?
