Curious to know if Dangerous Goods were onboard... specifically lithium batteries. While we are D/G approved, that is one of a few items I refuse to carry on my jet.
Yes there were. In the ELT, each ULB, FMS not to mention cell phones, iPads, notebook computers...
I wonder if we should consider adding a baro switch to the ELT? That way a major failure that depressurized the cabin would start the ELT and might provide a better position fix prior to impact. If the aircraft is recovered by the flight crew they can always reset it from the remote switch.
