Hi Vilas,

Just a question - not doubting you, but where does Airbus mention getting on the ground within 15 mins? - I've not noticed it in our QRH.

I ask, because this is something I often bring up with my trainers - the CAA have stated that in-flight fires or smoke situations which stayed airborne longer than 14 mins have had fatalities - but when I mention this the trainers seem unimpressed, and they do not push getting on the ground within this time. Odd, because the company I work for are very safety oriented.
