A number of airlines reviewing instructions to the crews after the collapse of the A320
The Norwegian airline Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA is urgently changing the operating instructions for their crews after the collapse of France A320 airliner company Germanwings, en route from Barcelona to Dusseldorf. It is reported by Tass.
Under the new rules, the pilot of a passenger aircraft will no longer have the right to remain in the cockpit one; previous instruction does not prohibit.
A similar rule is introduced in Canada. On Thursday said the country’s Minister of Transport Lisa Reytt. According to her, the new agency regulations should come into force “without delay».
«There are currently no regulations on mandatory constant presence in the cockpit of two members of the crew during the flight. Now we will be obliged to follow the relevant requirements of carriers, “- she said. “In the absence of one of the pilots in his place can get a flight attendant or another member of the crew” – explained Reytt.
It is noteworthy that a few hours before the release of the directive of the Ministry of Transport Canada’s largest national airline, Air Canada announced that it is changing policy in relation to the actions of its pilots during flight.
«After the publication of the initial reports about the crash Germanwings we immediately change our policy. Now on all flights in the cockpit during the flight will be two people, “- said the Air Canada. Add here that this practice for many years active in all US airlines. “If one of the pilots need to get out of the cab, this place during his absence took some of the crew members, such as a flight attendant,” – said the company.
Britain’s biggest budget airline EasyJet introduced on Thursday the rule that in the cockpit of its aircraft on the flight must constantly attend two crew members.
«EasyJet confirms that starting tomorrow, Friday, March 27, it changes the procedure and introduces a rule that that in the cockpit at all times should be two crew members – said in a statement. – This decision was made in consultation with the Civil Aviation ».
It is expected that the same rules and introduce other British airlines, as the civil aviation authority of the country on Thursday ordered them to review the security situation after the crash of Germanwings .
After a plane crash in France, the largest German airline expressed willingness to introduce a rule that in the cockpit must always be at least two people.
Write a black box A320 indicates that the death of 150 people on board an aircraft in the south of France was the result of intentional actions of the second pilot.
According to statements by the prosecutor of Marseilles Brice Robin, Captain A320 out of the cab and could not go back, while the co-pilot at this time consciously initiated a reduction of the aircraft, which led to his downfall.
