I remember a BY 757 Captain died from Heart Failure on landing at AGP many years ago.

On Saturday March 01 2008, a national Canadian newspaper "The Globe and Mail" ran a photo on page F2 with the caption:
"IMAGES OF THE WORLD THIS WEEK: DEATH AT 32,000 FEET" The photo was in very bad taste and I am appalled that a such a prominent newspaper could stoop so low. Shame..... |
In fact my last time in the sim I had an incapacitation just after flaps up and the trainer then failed an engine, in CAT III conditions as well, so a single pilot, single engine, cat III autoland from the right seat |
TM,
He may well be demonstrating to someone the importance of using automatics. As long as it is training and not checking I imagine it could be extremely useful.:ok: |
I'm sorry to hear the sad news. Thoughts with his family, friends, and colleagues.
For those who are interested, it's a JAR obligation to practice. Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.450 (4) Incapacitation procedures appropriate to Low Visibility Take-offs and Category II and III operations shall be practised. Appendix 1 to JAR–OPS 1.965 Recurrent training and checking – Pilots(a) Recurrent Training – Recurrent training .... (B) Operational procedures and requirements including groundshall comprise: (1) Ground and refresher training (i) The ground and refresher training programme shall include: de-/anti-icing and pilot incapacitation (see AMC to Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.965)Appendix 1 to JAR-OPS 1.1010 Conversion and Differences training(g) Pilot incapacitation.
