"10,000 ft."
Was this said as a matter of routine... Or with surprise, when cruising over the Atlantic ? It appears to be the first recognition of the direction of travel recorded on the DVD.


No comment that the THS was only moving in one direction, NU, steadily. Would this be likely, when the aircraft would normally be in nearlv level flight.


I was a newby Second Officer, doing "my hour" of hand flying at night, as the A/P was u/s. I flew into an unseen Cb. The Captain told me to "Fly reasonably straight and reasonably level." Which I did. ( We had heard of someone who had tried something else with bad effect.)


Rain soaked through the unpressurised windscreen and wet my knees.


(Radar did not come, for me, for a dozen more years.)
