Trying to improve the access to try to get more people in more material and more equipment for all the reasons, the speed of recovery can be helped if you ve got more people on the ground. the weather changes, the wind today slows the operation down. the more equipment that you can bring in there to support the work that s important. the way these recovery teams work it s a two-man team. one is a recovery worker the other is a mountaineering police. the mountaineering police s job is quite literally to rope that recovery work into the mountain face and make sure they don t fall off. nic robertson, thanks so much. appreciate it. want to bring in our panel of experts. cnn safety analyst and former faa safety inspector david soucie. cnn aviation analyst and former managing director of the ntsb peter goelz and cnn aviation analyst miles o brien. david, let me start with you. it was stunning in some ways that some airlines around the world did not have a two-person in the cockpit rule. ....
Exactly happened? after the pilot, after the captain has left the cockpit, he tried to regain access there were knocks on the door according to the french authorities, and door was either kept locked or not opened in the way it was supposed to be. that for sure is a clear indication that the remaining pilot didn t want the cath ton return. because we ve been talking about there might have been a medical emergency. there might have been some other event that could have caused the co-pyatt to become incapacitated. you believe the co-pilot deliberately steered the plane into the mountain? we do have a safety procedure in place in case the remaining pilot gets unconsciousness, there s a way to oath door from the outside unless the person on the inside blocks it. and this apparently has happened here. and one of the things of course in light of all that that they are evaluating right now is that two people in the cockpit rule. we do know of course that that s something that lufthans ....
Few cases, but i still am really i find it very difficult to understand it. how could somebody do that as a professional pilot, i m still struggling with that and probably will for a very long time. chris jansing. and michael, given that obviously to figure out exactly what happened here the criminal investigation takes precedence. there is also already activity being seen with airlines many european airlines that never had that two person in a cockpit rule, within hours of the press conference yesterday were changing their own policies. i m wondering from an airline perspective and, frankly, i ve been surprised by the number of people who have said to me this has made them extremely nervous. we all know that flying is still extraordinarily safe safer probably than it s ever been. but this has made people say, what do airlines need to look at what do pilots need to look at, where do we go from here to learn from this? right. i think that last segment you ....
Screaming from the passenger compartment just before impact. now in the united states the faa requires two people to be in the cockpit at all time. but listen to this. lufthanza and the other european carriers on intraeuropean flights have elected to use the one crewmember rule, and that gives the person inside control of the airplane all by themselves. so no doubt aviation authorities in europe may be reconsidering that one person cockpit rule. let s take another look now at that cockpit. big question coming up today, can you override it are from the outside? do pilots and crew have any other way to enter the cockpit if someone in the cockpit denies them entry, puts that toggle switch in the ing ....
Flight but what i found particularly important, lufthansa the lufthansa group does not have a two-person cockpit rule. so when one leaves which is the norm in the united states when one leaves a flight attendant doesn t go in. he was specifically asked if he was going to revise that he said he would have to look into it. david soucie apparently there s no regulation in europe mandating a regulatory mandate that somebody else a cabin crew members has to go in so there s not just an individual in the cockpit the regulation addresses the access to the cockpit. you have to have access to the cockpit procedure. there are parameters that go along with that. what concerns me if you remember mh370, when there was suspicion they had access to the cockpit through the e and e cockpit in the floor, immediately airlines changed their procedures for access to the cockpit. all that happened immediately. ....
