Blank screen

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

An Airbus A320, was en route at FL330, with everything operating normally, when suddenly, both ECAM displays went blank. The crew tried, but were unable, to turn the displays back on. As a result they declared PAN PAN and diverted to their nearest alternative airport for a safe landing about 35 minutes later.
After landing maintenance examined the ECAM and discovered that the circuit breaker had tripped. It was reset and the ECAM displays became active again. The aircraft was then able to continue its flight.

Unexpected extinguisher

Here’s the text to the listening from yesterday.

Enjoy!!

A Boeing 737-800, was en route at FL380 when there was a problem with a fire extinguisher in the cockpit. It started to spray halon around the cockpit by itself. The pilots had to put on their oxygen masks due to the danger of inhaling the gas and began a rapid descent to FL110 and then diverted to their alternative airport. The fire extinguisher was replaced and the flight was able to take off again two hours after landing.
