Brace Brace Let's leave our credentials alone. because that or thickness of logbook alone does not necessarily ensure that somebody is correct. On the issue of SOP and individual practices I will give you an example. In airbus when you are given a heading or you want to turn you can set heading and pull to get in HDG mode or you can first pull to get in HDG mode(or check HDG on FMA) and and then set heading. I see people doing either way. But SOP wants you to pull first. Is it splitting hair?
