TKS to All for your feedback.
Could anyone help me understand the logics behind this Airbus SOP ?
QRH 3.01... calls for the Pilot Flying to "obtain ATC clearence" , and yes ,I see them grabing the mike and do it so.
Then on p. 3.02 it also calls for the PNF to do the same .
( At the beginning I thought that meant together and that the PF would tell the PNF to get it , hmm not so )
Q. Why do they want the pilot who will not be handling the radios to grab the mike and obtain it himself ???????
It also hapens to be that the PF will reach that point on the flow where the PNF is doing the 360 ... hope nobody gets a clearence alone ....
Q. Now , who is the PNF supposed to " Obtain ATC clearence " from later at the end of his flow as stated on 3.02 ??
