Air France Flight Missing

[Longhorn]

Thanks....Good find.

If you lost your airspeed indicators at altitude, would you know what thrust and pitch attitude to maintain?

1. Check the pitch attitude and thrust.
2. If pitch attitude or thrust is not normal for phase of flight:
Autopilot disengage switch......push
Autothrottle disconnect switch....push
Flight directors switches (both)...off

Establish normal pitch attitude and thrust setting for phase of flight.

Sounds like you missed your chance to be a hero.

Exactly! Surely it was just that simple.

Weren't they over the Atlantic, at night, in weather?

Yes, penetrating the famous ITCZ.

2 NWA pilots did act like heroes at about the same time with the same type of problem flying from HKG to NRT in an A330.


Bye Bye--General Lee

In level flight? Sure.

In moderate or severe turbulence at Max Cruise Alt? Hmmmm..... that's a different animal.

I'm sure they tried like hell, though.

Yeah..not to mention night IMC over the Atlantic in a field of TS...probably in a TS. Sounds like a nightmare.
