Global Express, Eh! Would like to drive one of those.
The 146 not!
Come to think about it I have had in the back of my mind that the triple redundancy of modern airliners and the likes are not satisfied with regards to pressure .Helps little to have 2 to 4 engines and APU if both packs fail!
On most aircraft.
Had a pack fail the other day, no drama, but was happy to be on a short hop in Europe and not over the Pasific or the Northpole with few options!!
Would the Challenger have that system ?
Must be nice up there above FL410!
Was trucking north at 360 last week and a chap requested FL490 and " Any direct available?" That got Madrid ATC attention!!
Happy Landings

As said above, sounds like a non-event in the scheme of things, though I guess it was interesting for those involved. Av Herald says the crew "were able to reset the air conditioning" enough to climb to FL170.
