Megan, I am saying I would NOT have succumbed to the same fate as this crew!
16k hours and 27 years over the ocean HAS taught me one or 2 things. The first, and most important, would be to have a damn good RADAR image at 200 feet AND to not fly over red blobs AND to crap my pants if the RADALT went off AND after it did, to react ASAP if a guy in the back with a A FLIR told me shortly thereafter to TURN.
A CDFA is an easily deployable procedure you can place over any target or waypoint. Before anyone try's to claim "SAR can't do this"......that's exactly what the TRANS DOWN program provides.
