September 20, 201114 yr Drunk Nav In its report the Interstate Aviation Committee said cooperation among the crew during the disastrous landing attempt was poor, with the pilot handing control to the drunk navigator, while the co-pilot was effectively excluded. How bad did that co-pilot suck if they'd rather let a drunk nav fly than him.
September 20, 201114 yr 1. "navigator had consumed about a glass of vodka"... There is no such thing as a russian drunk off 1 Glass of Vodka... doesn't even matter the size of the glass! 2. "The use during the flight of a navigator in a light level of alcoholic intoxication." ... wait, which is it? the headline says "Drunk Navigator"... way to over exaggerate for a headline.... 3. I think I'd be more confident in a drunk russian than a sober one. First, why aren't the others drinking? something's wrong! Second, the drunk one is obviously the most in his natural state, and the other 2 were probably still fighting the confusion as to why they aren't drunk!
September 20, 201114 yr Everyone knows that vodka to russians is like spinach to popeye. This just tells me they did everything they could.
September 20, 201114 yr Have gone in to many IL-76 and AN-124 cockpits to debrief the crews, the cabin smelled of a mix of body order and vodka so this comes as no surprise.
