Part 4/9:
The return flight from New York pushed back smoothly at 03:00, and the pilots worked through their pre-flight checks and standard operations. Their departure was executed without any hitches, and they soon began a lengthy flight, during which both pilots adhered to procedure, utilizing controlled rest to mitigate fatigue. The initial phases of the flight went according to plan, with the crew demonstrating professionalism and preparation.
As the flight progressed towards landing, the pilots transitioned smoothly into the approach phase. However, unease surrounding the aircraft's systems began to surface, particularly in the First Officer's mind as he recalled the recent discourse about 5G impacts on altimeters.
