facthunter Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 They needed an alarm clock or ask the flight attendants if any of them have one because the pilots are tired and they will be up every 5 minutes checking on them. It's called Cockpit Resource Management. Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano747 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 747 would sound the caution if any button hadn't been pressed for 20 minutes (don't really exactly - may have been 25 minutes). Might sleep through a radio call - not going to ignore a bloody loud horn ..... Edited March 12 by Deano747 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
