When you teach MCC/JOC/APS/MPL on the Boeing 737, the customer is moving from a light twin 2MT to a training weight of 60+MT. Apart from the first real experience of inertia, full automation is introduced.
It is critical from a very early stage the correct protocols are observed.
The use of A/T is highly addictive especially when linked into the TOGA mode. They must be taught to follow the TLs forward every time the TOGA button is pressed.
When they forgot to follow through, you fail the A/T and let nature take its course......they soon learn. Their brains are hardened & they are unlikely to forget.
“Make as many mistakes as you want, but only make the same mistake once”
