Recent events here in Germany have prompted me to open this thread. The German Federal Office for Air Accident Investigation (Bundesstelle für Flugunfalluntersuchung - BFU) has published an interim report (so far only available in German: http://www.bfu-web.de/cln_030/nn_223...tml?__nnn=true) about an incident involving a Germanwings Airbus A319-132 on approach to Cologne airport (CGN/EDDK). Toxic fumes entered the cockpit and nearly incapacitated the flightcrew. However, they managed to land the aircraft without any damage. The incident is currently a hot topic in the German press.
I would like to hear any thoughts and ideas about the topic of fumes in the cabin and cockpit in general. Any theories to the causes and to how to address the problem? Which aircraft and/or engine types are affected?
