Hi Joey,
I thought this was quite an interesting and well compiled recording.
The pilot's voice is very monotonic and calm throughout. It remains so despite the burning smell and emergency landing. This is unusual although not extra-ordinary. I honestly thought he might be trying to cover something up but obviously would far rather my pilot be cool rather than panicked.
The burning smell was reported by two passengers one of whom implicated the galley as the source.
http://avherald.com/h?article=427b2648&opt=1There are a few other reports so far this year of burning smells shortly after take-off resulting in a premature but safe landing. e.g. OA382 on the 26th Jan, BE321 on the 26th Jan, QF42 on 14th Feb.
Seems common but it's better to be sure to be sure.
Regards,
Pinhead
"A paradox, it has been accurately said, has the same significance for a philosopher or logician that the smell of burning rubber has for an electronics engineer: it is a signal that something is amiss." (Medawar & Medawar, Aristotle to Zoos: A Philosophical Dictionary of Biology , 1983)
