I can see why you cannot understand that I was saying the exact same thing....you can do it, and it is not that technical, I do it all the time. As I stated, that is for flight validations, not in the commercial environment.

Pretty damning article...

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Air Canada hindered the investigation of last month’s near-catastrophe at San Francisco Airport by dragging their feet in the aftermath.

As a result, key evidence from the cockpit voice recorder was erased and the pilots were never tested for drugs or alcohol. It’s a bureaucratic cover-up that conveniently protects the federal agency and the airline involved.


It was business as usual, despicable behavior on the part of Air Canada, which refuses to answer questions during the investigation, including whether the pilots have since been grounded.
