vilas, no argument with the ‘follow procedures’ theme. However this, and other discussions on SOPs, overlook the ability to know when to deviate from the norm, and what action to take in unusual, beyond the norm situations
Really? What I am reading for last few months is just opposition to procedures, it includes even people who are just making a beginning. Take the present case a wrong assumption was made that no FCOM demands something till I posted FCOM to show indeed it does. Another thread assumed reject takeoff is recommended after V1 for certain failures while truth was it recommended after 100kt and not after V1. Or the insistence that Aircraft are to be manually flown every day as a preparation for failure of automatics. Gosh! It sounds almost religious like this life is preparation for eternal life.
