Bubbles in the CNS after sudden decompression can cause serious neurological symptoms and persistent sequelae, but it's a very rare complication. Is there anything you aren't an expert on?? |

What if you need to maneuver abruptly to avoid a collision? That's right. It won't let you manuever more thna a given acceleration for the flight mode you are in,particulaly at high alt due to mahc manuevering considerations. Can't give you numbers because I'm not flying one at the moment. I know basically zero about high altitude flying, what are the considerations? Does it have a lot to due with being close to the envelope between flying and stalling in the thin air? |

"BB" == Bertie the Bunyip writes: BB An explosive decompression can do a lot of damage to the BB body. Sinuses, ears lungs.. "Explosive decompression (ED) refers to a sudden marked drop in the pressure of a system that occurs in less than 0.1 seconds, associated with explosive violence. Generally it results from some sort of material fatigue or engineering failure, causing a contained system to suddenly vent into the external atmosphere." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_decompression Not a chance the Airbus experienced *explosive* decompression. Sure there is. Cargo door opening. Structural tear pulling a panel off. Happens. Bertie |

: Phil writes: Actually the flight attendant says it in every pre-flight emergency briefing. You are right that it is a simple concept, and I don't know anyone who is too stupid to understand it. Then why do flight attendants point it out on every flight? Because they've considered that you might be on the flight. Oh wait. that can't be it either. You don't fly. Bertie |

: nobody writes: It's really a pretty simple concept, but I've never had it explained on an airline. I don't understand how someone could draw a conclusion that parents are too 'stupid' to understand. If they aren't stupid, they'll figure out for themselves why they should put on their own masks first.
