Report: Co-Pilot of Germanwing Began Descent
From AFP:
Marignane (France) (AFP) - The co-pilot "voluntarily" initiated the descent of the Germanwings flight that crashed into the French Alps and refused to open the door to the pilot who was outside the cockpit, the lead investigator said on Thursday.
"The co-pilot is alone at the controls," said prosecutor Brice Robin, recounting information gathered from the "black box" recorder. "He voluntarily refused to open the door of the cockpit to the pilot and voluntarily began the descent of the plane."ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Germanwings co-pilot had 630 hours flying time
Frankfurt - The co-pilot of the Germanwings jet that crashed in the French Alps was on the job since September 2013 and had 630 hours of flying experience, the parent company, German flag carrier Lufthansa, said on Thursday.
The co-pilot "was First Officer at Germanwings since September 2013," a Lufthansa spokesperson told AFP.
Prior to that, he had been trained as a pilot at Lufthansa Flight Training in the northern German city of Bremen and had 630 hours of flying experience under his belt.
By comparison, the plane's pilot had more than 10 years experience and 6 000 hours of experience flying the Airbus A320 model, Lufthansa revealed previously.

Experts say evidence of another pilot knocking on the door, and the lack of distress call, points towards an intentional nosedive

Pilots noted last night that anyone leaving the cockpit is automatically "locked out" until re-entry with a keypad code.
The keypad does not activate and open the door for thirty seconds, allowing the pilot on the other side to manually "lock" the door from the inside so that no one can enter.
An incapacitated pilot would not have manually locked the door. A pilot who was fully aware of his actions, would lock the other pilot out.
First name, or last name of remaining pilot in cockpit? Now THAT will be interesting.
Undoubtedly the delay is so that his (or HER) digital footprint can be erased so that blogging snoops cannot follow any forensic evidence.
