Hi Ron, I well understood what you were referring to. Have you looked at your Cockpit Voice Recorder Transcript file? Here are some excerpts: Michelle said, ’Climb and maintain flight level two four zero Roger.’ 11:15:05 AM Michelle said, ’23000, 2800, 323’ 11:15:27 AM Michelle said, ’24000, 2100 even, 322’ 11:15:49 AM Michelle said, ’Level at 24000’ 11:16:02 AM Then you start asking things like.... You said, ’get current altitude’ 11:17:52 AM Michelle said, ’Current altitude, 24084 feet.’ 11:17:52 AM You said, ’get current altitude’ 11:17:53 AM Michelle said, ’Current altitude, 24084 feet.’ 11:17:54 AM You said, ’thank you’ 11:18:06 AM Michelle said, ’You’re welcome.’ 11:18:08 AM You said, ’restore simulator’ 11:21:18 AM Michelle said, ’The simulator has been restored and is now in view.’ 11:21:18 AM You said, ’run simulator’ 11:21:23 AM These are the kind of unnecessary queries that can cause announcements to be SMASHED. I hope this helps.
