Proficiency experience in problems most of them will never see in their lifetimes. yeah. go ahead. and we do get training in that just for that particular reason. so we can recognize a stall in a swept wing airplane how it will react at high altitude. i just went through recurrent training doing exactly that thing. tim is sitting here going i m a search and rescue guy same thing. autopilot all the time. i almost got run down by tons of freighters that are just on cruise control. so it can make you complacent. now that there is another plane that has gone missing do you think there s going to be a bigger push to live-stream data jeff? well i don t think it necessarily would have helped in this case. again, we don t really know what happened with airasia. but if it was a case of running into bad weather and the electronics going out because you had an impact with a surface, then i don t see much of a benefit of having look there s going to be a huge amount of costs in ....
Are we pushing the limits of what is technologically possible? not techno logically possible all together but for the bluefin and the manufacture at the bluefin at the moment is looking at how far they can exceed the depth rating for the device. there s always overengineering in these things and they maybe over 10, 20% but there are vehicles that go to 11,000 meters or 36,000 feet. there s a possibility, right because the flight went on for seven or so hours it s believed. if the black boxes don t reveal what happened on the plane, what other tools will investigators have? what is it, the black boxes do about two hours before yes. i mean, the black boxes record ....
Overengineering. you told us about the overengineering of some of these parts in aviation, including the black boxes, we are very concerned those batteries are showing signs of dying out. you point out we could have a 40-day window. how long these batteries are certified for and how long they actually work in many cases. look, indeed, christine. i don t think there s anything in aviation today that s designed to fail at the actual certification date. so much of it is overengineered. the 777 itself, the boeing 777 is probably one of the most overengineered airplanes that are in the sky today. and we saw that last year in san francisco with the asiana one. hit the sea wall. that airplane spun and bounced and still stayed intact which is extraordinary structural integrity of the airplane. so, look, it s a great airplane. overengineered. and i do think they ve got another four or five days, possibly, of battery life left in the pingers. ....
