Yes Stilton, I think most people sitting in a class room can figure that out, what I think some are discussing here is how the effects of hypoxia has interfered with that plan.
Take a look at just some of the accidents, LJ, 737, Cirrus, TBM, there's probably more.
It's very easy in the simulator because they tell you by making a big bang sound, not always that simple in real life.
Not always! As an instructor on the simulator I often used the slow loss of pressure as this was a much more likely scenario and brought out some salient points.
No disrespect to private owners but how often do they practice the loss of press/emergency descent drill?
Within the airline world there is a requirement to do this on a regular basis and also the drills are often covered during line checks too.
This is mainly a matter of discipline and training.
What stilton says is correct and this is what should be taught and practised.
