	Transportation Safety Board Fact Sheets - Swissair 111 Investigation Report Executive Summary
		While the flight crew was preparing for the landing in Halifax, they were unaware that a fire was spreading above the ceiling in the front area of the aircraft.
		The Board concluded that the actions by the flight crew in preparing the aircraft for landing, including their decisions to have the passenger cabin readied for landing and to dump fuel, were consistent with them being unaware that an on-board fire was under way.
		The Board recommended that appropriate regulatory authorities, in conjunction with the aviation community, review the adequacy of in-flight firefighting as a whole, to ensure that aircraft crews are provided with a system whose elements are complementary and optimized to provide the maximum probability of detecting and suppressing any in-flight fire.

		While an interesting innovation for flying under instrument flight rules (IFR), neither the HUD nor the display is not visible in a smoke filled cockpit.
		The FAA acknowledges this: “a majority of hidden in-flight fires are the result of electrical arcs along wire bundles.” Electrical arcs are often accompanied by electrical failure that would render the Heads Up Display inoperative.
		On a July 2003 flight from Missoula, Montana to Seattle, Washington, a passenger passed security with a four-inch knife and a golf-ball sized explosive.

		As recalled in the riveting account of "Black September" by hostage David Raab, all the hijacked flights were bound from Europe to the United States.
		The terrorists segregated Israeli, American, Swiss, and West German passengers for captivity — releasing the others — and threatened to kill the hostages and blow up the planes unless jailed militants were released.

	AlbaniaGeography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Although runway length may be of some academic interest, in terms of usability for air carrier operations, a runway of at least 6,000 ft in length is usually adequate for aircraft weights below approximately 200,000 lb.
		International widebody flights may also have landing requirements of 10,000 ft or more and takeoff requirements of 13,000+ ft. At sea level, 10,000 ft can be considered an adequate length to accommodate virtually any aircraft.
		For example, at ORD, when landing simultaneously on 22R and 27L or parallel 27s, it is routine for arrivals from the Far East who would normally be vector ed for 22R (7,500 ft) or 27R (8,000 ft) to request 27L (10,000 ft).
