Latam Airlines flight Syd-Auckland 50 injured

Most autopilots will disconnect at some physical input Level. I've never alluded to the plane being flown manually.  A meal was being served at the time wasn't it? Crew NEVER have meals at the same time and it's supposed to be a different meal.  As far as switches go which ONE over rides? The switches accessible to the Piot would be actuating switches so the pilot can position the seat where He?/ She wants it like being able to get out of it when needed. Nev

It will be interesting to see the eventual answer. One would suppose that if the dive was precipitated by a cabin crew member accidentally actuating the switch, then he/she would have been standing on the flight deck and presumably thrown against the roof, as were the passengers and cabin crew in the passenger cabin!

Ah Ha, the plot thickens. Just find the flight attendant who was on the ceiling in the cockpit. Simples.

It would be quite likely she was injured or worse. Nev
