Capt.'s Return

Philip2141

This has always bothered me. When the CVR first came out, some were quick to support PNF as having some concept of the situation but limited by authority and what PF was actually doing.

BUT

PNF is desperate to get the Capt. back to the flight deck and when the Capt. gets there all he offers is:

"What’s happening? I don’t know I don’t know what’s happening"

and

"We lost all control of the aeroplane we don’t understand anything we’ve tried everything"

IMHO, he was not calling the Capt. back due to command issues, which I believe was suggested earlier--he had no idea what was going on?

Also, what had they tried?

Switch to ATT?
