westhawk;
Well said.
The notion of "doing nothing"...(meaning, be a pilot and fly the airplane, meaning keep it stable while sorting out the problem), was broached shortly after the AF447 accident on the
second thread. Subsequently, a fairly long discussion on the interpretation of the UAS drill and checklist took place throughout the AF447 threads.
mm43 very kindly constructed a search facility specifically for the AF447 threads and can be found
here. I believe the link to the second thread, (begun June 04, 2009 after the first thread was shut down) may be broken however...just in case, the second thread can be found
here.
Kind regards,
PJ2
