ANOTHER PLANE CRASH

[HairOfTheDog]

That rule is only in America not European flights.

The pilots either activate or deactivate emergency entry from inside the cockpit. Many planes flying in all different regions in the world are built by the same manufacturer.

Anyway, the co-pilot for this European flight denied emergency entry from inside the cockpit. There was no way for anyone outside of the cockpit to get in without the cockpitted pilot granting access.

The A320 is designed with safeguards to allow emergency entry into the cockpit if a pilot inside is unresponsive. But the override code known to the crew does not go into effect — and indeed goes into a lockdown — if the person inside the cockpit specifically denies entry.
