Thinking at the re-discussed Cipriot 737 disaster As I wrote one year ago this incident has been an insult to the aviation industry research to the safety.
We all know the danger and the benefits of the high altitude flying and oxygen is there to supply the people during those 20-25 minutes more than enough time necessary to descend 30,000 feet.
Dual oxygen system is fitted on our aircraft to secure the crew segregation with a separate Oxygen supply (if you test properly, as you should, the mask before departure to be sure that the system in operative)
How come that an FMS/Autopilot system that is able to perform an auto land is unable to detect "abnormal cabin ALT over and extended time"? How come we do have CAB ALT able to deploy PASS OXY at 14,000 automatically but unable to set a different alarm if the climb continues? That is what I call and insult to this technology design.
is a logic suggestion to design a software that will “re-clear” the autopilot to descend to safe ALT or to prevent a further climb? All those unnecessary deaths will be better remembered.
I am truly amazed and surprised to read that after Golfer Payne and the Cyprus disaster still airplane can’t recover from a such dual crew incapacitation.
