1700 ft for gain programming…3,000ft when I first started especially with Wee Hugh who selected gear down even further out..then land flap on G/S interception (at 3 grand).
180 to the marker when they were carrying out the continuous descent trails was also too difficult for some..Bit of a larf considering cloud break 14 zrh with left had circling 28 in föhn conditions with final turn starting at 500ft and land flap selected latest 400ft which all of us could do on the dc9 (with our own throttles from the RHS).
Worst thing was the long check-lists wedged on the side of the central consul until completed (300ft)…
Thanks for the book.
