A problem in calling all ‘normal states’ is that this can lead to ‘wish think’
It is called confirmation bias. But every procedure has it's negative. Firstly these are not call outs but read outs, there is a difference. Normal changes are read to force you to look. If you want to call only the undesired condition then you are going to be silent most of your life and then why would you monitor at all? Ask SFO guys not one but three of them none noticed idle Thrust or falling airspeed. Why because the system always keeps everything in order( unless it doesn't). So it's not a job of line pilot to make procedures because most don't have the knowledge of the design process, human engineering or psychology. Leave it to the manufacturer, at least ask him before you change. Lot goes into designing an airplane. How many of us know why when heading is pulled CLB changes to OPCLB but DEC changes to present VS and not OPDES?
