(Dagbladet): After yesterday plane crash in the French Alps that has cost 150 people their lives, produced naturally questions about how this could happen.
Direct Transfer
Aviation Adviser Einar Sørensen says in DBTVs live this again brings on court questions that were asked after the Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared last year. Why data is not transferred from the “black boxes” directly.
– I think we will get a debate about the black boxes, which is actually orange. We must get a direct transfer from the planes to the slopes. It is mildly incredible that airlines are more concerned with having network to display movies than sending vital data. Now we live in uncertainty about what has happened. With continuous data transmission from the planes would we now knew what had happened, he said.
– Why has not this been introduced?
– It is linked to costs. It is the main reason why we have not gotten this far. The technology exists, but it will cost the airlines a lot of money, says Sørensen.
tachograph missing
Yesterday evening it became known that the cockpit voice recorder from the Airbus aircraft is found, before the morning hours today came reports that this should be a problem. Nevertheless thought French specialists that it would be possible to extract information from it.
The cockpit voice recorder captures audio from the cockpit via four microphones, and will hopefully be able to provide answers to what went wrong when the plane from Barcelona to Dusseldorf crashed little before 11am Norwegian time yesterday. Sorensen says, however, that it is the second Registrar who is the most important – namely tachograph.
– The box has been found is not the most important, and it is partially damaged. It is uncertain whether one gets the data you need, but maybe you will learn something more already on the announced press conference this afternoon.
– Memories of Air France in 2009
Sorensen, who has been in seemed as aviation adviser for years, says that this accident reminds him of the Air France plane that disappeared over the Atlantic in 2009 on the way from Brazil to France. The time lost 228 persons life.
– This is reminiscent of the Air France disappearance in 2009. A sense of unreality, and everyone asks about how this could happen. Another question is whether the pilots have enough experience, training and oversight constantly to really be on par with what might happen, he said.
He also says that the most probable cause of yesterday’s crash is a complete system failure.
– We may begin to question the electrical control system. It starts to become a part which argues that the system has become so complicated that people should control not realize everything.
