On pilot incapacitation Girish Kaushik
March 27, 2014
I have been following most of the television interviews of various experts of various experts of different channels, and am astonished that little or no importance has been given to the subject of pilot incapacitation.
It would be interesting to know, that, in my 40 years of flying experience including the 777, a great amount of emphasis has been given, especially during simulator sessions, on pilot incapacitation.
When the flying pilot is incapacitated, a procedure must be followed, wherein the “non flying “ one takes over. If both, the captain and first officer are incapacitated, it would be a different matter all together.
In my opinion, one possible explanation to this bizarre event that has taken place on MH370 would be that the batteries in the cargo compartment might have caught fire as theorised by many.
