FlyDubai incident 30/9

An interesting article by Dave Evans (QF32) in today's Age newspaper about coughpit security. I'm reading it via my Libraries app.

If allowed I can copy and paste a screen shot of it here, but I'm unsure as to the readability of it due to screen grabs being lo-res.

And on the radio a chap Neil Hansford had views about how pilots are assesed for fitness for duty. I don't know the guy so I don't know what his background is.

He's alleging that smaller airlines don't have the same checks and balances as the likes of Qantas, BA or other mainline airlines do.

I won’t comment on NH’s claims specifically, but his ‘credentials’ as an industry commentator are readily available online.
We may see media seeking comment from him more often following the death of Geoffrey Thomas, a popular go-to, earlier this year.

FlyDubai and Emirates are both owned by the Govt of the UAE; I wouldn't have thought they would delineate on this aspect?

He talks (writes) about how everything changed since 911 regarding in-flight security

Here's the article in screen grab format.

the force

= change in velocity.
That change can be change in amount or change in direction
So the 2 times when acceleration would be at its highest would be with it starts descending and when it comes out of the descent

Several instances where the threat is now inside the coughpit.

Hopefully lessons will be learned from this.

I wonder how the "double" coughpit door that the US is mandating that its country's airlines install would help/hinder this kind of situation?

I wouldn't say that flydubai is a small airline. It has ~100 planes.

Discussed already above (see post 27 and surrounds)

I hope the coughpit door can be adjusted that if one of the pilots call coughpit emergency, it will alert cabin crew to barge in and control the situation.
