Research findings
Cabin crew would……deal with situation, but communication uncertainty……wait for guidance – instructions……develop CRM skills……consider any impending danger……be unaware for Autopilot Disengage SW……would not be able to tune ILS frequency…
Cabin Crew may……recognise cockpit controls with an external guidance…
Communication is mandatory
