Dear moderators,

I found and posted some information on 9/4 about a 2008 FAA legal opinion regarding the definition of accessible emergency equipment: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/...2008/Davis.pdf. It means that a pilot must be able to reach the emergency equipment (i.e., a fire extinguisher) from his or her station with an oxygen mask on. I included a link to the FAA legal opinion and a comment that the emergency equipment is not currently accessible by pilots while wearing the oxygen masks provided at their flight stations on the B744.

I also posted a link to a WSJ article from June of this year about a UAL flight in May on which the 757 pilots could not reach a fire extinguisher while wearing an oxygen mask: Worries Emerge on Boeing Cockpit-Oxygen Systems - WSJ.com.

Cargo Man quoted my post.

I just looked for my post so that I could reread the FAA legal opinion, but I can find neither my post, nor Cargo Man's reply that quoted my post. Am I having a senior moment or was it deleted? If so, why?

Thanks!
