Philipat:
A dual fmc failure (as one of many possible failures following an MEC fire) would mean a diversion in alternate nav. This has huge potential for incorrect positional entries, particularly...

Olasek:
Then you don't know the B777 in alternate nav. All radios have to be tuned in alternate radio mode, no needles or ILS otherwise. There is no situational guidance unless you programme it in,...

Jcjeant:
Of course they would be a crew action, as a result of an MEC fire. The new waypoints were programmed into a (possibly alternate nav) diversion. This is a tricky thing to do as the waypoints...
