If done consciously, this adds a layer of SA and can mitigate against the risk of ending the flight early.
And if there are two people in aircraft who know the difference, why not involve the other person in the crosscheck?
While we’re talking about getting a grip (on the right lever), why trash the suggestion?
because what you are suggesting takes experience, training and recurrent training.
I dont know the experience levels of the pilots involved and it's not an insult to them, however, you are only as good as your experience and training.
Whilst we allow ppl's to quality at 45 hours and instructors to instruct with barely many more hours, this is what we have to live with as an industry in the civvy world.
more training costs more, becomes a barrier to entry, the industry is already in crisis with rising costs, so we will keep allowing the bare minimum and then say really enlightening things like 'shouldda operated like a 2 crew'
