| My reasoning is not to brief all sorts of events and have a different solution for this and that. I flew with a captain who came from one of the larger LCC's and he must have been yapping for about 7-10 minutes about everything from in case a pax fell ill to if the right outer wheel got punctured. That's nonsense from my point of view. What is important is which type of worksplit to be used, what I as PF expects PNF to do and when, and I inform him of what my actions and intentions will be. Certain standard items such as the SE escape route should be briefed. Otherwise, leave the briefing rather open. Briefing heavily on "side-items" may close the box to much and suddenly you're unable to think outside it. There is actually some benefits with not having a manuscript for each and every scenario... Put the focus on all non-standard conditions that exists. Perhaps a need for a static take off (We do it frequently on the Saab)? WX? /LnS |
