Aero-News Quote of the Day

N479BR owners stated that N479BR... "experienced a rapid, uncommanded loss of pressurization... whereupon the two pilots immediately put on their oxygen masks and the Autoland system 'automatically engaged exactly as designed when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels," the company said. The pilots decided to leave the system engaged due to the 'complexity' of the situation... While the system performed exactly as expected, the pilots were prepared to resume manual control of the aircraft should the system have malfunctioned in any way..."
