"Positive rate" callout
Did a quick search on the forums, but couldn't find anything on this topic:
My question is: Does your company use the "positive rate" callout to trigger gear retraction after take-off or go-around? Mine does - but I feel that it is an error-prone trigger, especially in an emergency: If the PNF forgets the "pos. rate" callout, which could happen in a stressful situation; it's much easier for the PF to forget the "gear up" call. Seen this happen in the SIM a few times.
Thoughts/comments? Any published research on this subject (callouts in general) out there?
Might not be the biggest issue in the world of aviation, but I'm a fan of 'attention to detail'...
