Hi,
DW
I don't know what kind of groundschool knowledge was imparted to AF cadets, but if the fact that the higher you get, the less effective the engines are was not drilled in then it could have contributed to that kind of misconception. Obviously you have SOPs for things like engine-out in cruise in which descent to a lower flight level is necessary, but were the cadets ever taught why?
but were the cadets ever taught why?
Well if it's not taught in a flying school (different power effect with altitude) .. this will demonstrate that the schooling level in Françe is very low
It's just a physic principle you (normaly) learn in teenagers school level
I wonder if .. at end .. the famous "concierge" will be better choice for Air France than those cadets ...
