Yes, there is something that has prompted my question. In our company, following a standard approach, the captain writes an open entry stating that the approach was satis. If he forgets, we phone him up, he tells us it was ok and we make the entry. This is then closed by stating that we have upgraded. This doesnt seem right to me, as the statement that the approach was ok is not in any way certified. So are there any company procedures that state that the captain has to sign for a succesful standard approach. It is, after all, probably the most important dynamic check that can be done. I`ve sat on the jump seat many times when doing a blind landing and it makes your **** twitch i can tell you.
