Dear Pineteam,
I am doing some research for a future article, so you all's input will be of great assistance.
Lol....yes even better still calling 1000' to go even though we are well within 1000' People do not get my dry humor....I ask if Alt are off by over 250' and we have not gotten an ECAM...weird huh?
I fly with so many different operation, I just ignore most of them. Unless it is a training event will I question them. Funny thing most will swear up and down that it is a SOP call. When asked politely to please "lets look it up" they have no idea even where to find normal callouts. I guess therein lies the rub.
Basic task sharing and communication has eroded to a point where non standard calls and tasks have festered into perceived standard calls or tasks.
