In our SOP, we have a chapter dedicated to standard call out from the moment we arrived at the aircraft until the securing. Pretty much everything is written black and white and yet some people are unable to comply with it. I mean come on how difficult it is to remember standard phraseology that you are using every day?
@ChinaBeached: I had the same problem when you say some Instructors will say one thing and the next day you fly with another instructor who will say the opposite thing. Lol. As a Fo it’s hard work as you have to adjust yourself for every flight to please the guy on the left who has his own way of flying. Fortunately those guys are a minority.
