the lav and is then locked out. i ve gone back and looked eded specifically at the brand new video that airbus released within the last year or two, which really promotes their new safeguards and why their cockpit door is so heavily reinforced and why it works for them. bottom line, it is designed to keep people out, to keep terrorists out of the flight deck. yet, the code the code pad on the outside of that door can be overridden by somebody inside. in other words if you type in the correct code but whoever is still inside the cockpit isn t comfortable with you being coming in they can lock you out. they can override that door that code pad on the door. so those things really kind of stood out to me. and then the other thing, you know, at the news conference, the ceo of germanwings was asked, will you now adopt the u.s. policy of always having a third person available to go into the cockpit? so you always have two people in the cockpit no matter what.
cockpit, the other pilot tried to evidently tried to lock him back out of the cockpit that has to be manually done. can that be done? and how? it can be done. there s a switch that you have that s controls that door. so it can be done by simply putting it in the locked position and not allowing the person to come in. there s some procedures that we ll go through as we go forward here. but nonetheless, it was an intentful move to lock that door. to make this clear to the team here you guys know this already. but for the rest of us here s how the airbus company explains how this door mechanism is supposed to work. listen to them in their own words. the captain moves the toggle switch to the lock position. the open light remains extinguished. now if we look at the code pad, the red l.e.d. is lit, confirming the door is locked. be careful, automatic door opening, the code pad and the buzzer are inhibited for five minutes. what he seems to be explaining let s put it over to you, m

a special door but they can enter a code on a key pad outside the flight deck, outside the cabin door. airbus released a video showing how it all works. take a look. on the code pad she enters the emergency code then presses the hash key. this triggers the timer for 30 seconds. the green on the code pad indicates imit in unlock. in the cockpit the buzzer sound continue obviously and the open flight flashes indicating unlocking. here s the thing. anyone inside the cockpit can flip a toggle switch and override that system. the captain moves the toggle switch to the lock position. the open light remains extinguished. i if you look at the code pad the red light is lit confirming the door is locked. be careful automatic door openings, the code pad and the buzzer are inhibited for five minutes. airline executives say it is not clear whether copilot did
