Is it possible that a pilot sees the IAS drop from 274 kt to 52 kt in a matter of seconds, and not consider the IAS to be unreliable?
From the Air Caraibes memo (my translation):
"Phase 4, crew reaction
Starting at 22:22:59 during 1m26s the indications of CAS, Mach and altitude are not reliable. The PF flies manually without FD, without FPV, and without A/THR. In that period the various warnings on ECAM, Master Warning, Master Caution, Cavalry Charge, Single Chime, and STALL are numerous. In this extremely charged context, the crew concentrates thus on the piloting of F-OFDF and the application of the checklist QRH 2.21 UNRELIABLE SPEED INDICATION. (...). "
I am a bit disapointed we still have not done it in my outfit
Everything is so much easier when you have been properly demonstrated once.
Agreed. It is difficult to understand that this is still not being addressed in training.
