interesting thoughts from closed minds!
you indicate:
PNF: positive rate
PF: gear up
what happens when due to human error:
PNF: V1/Rotate...oh bugger ENGINE FAILURE
PF: max power!
max power!
and there is no cue for gear up since PNF has forgotten to say "positive rate"?
you believe in the less is more theory. I disagree with it. I've seen what happens in procedures developed when this theory is used...not good.
I believe in strict procedures that work in all situation and pilots capable of doing them while monitoring basic airmanship.
with the verbal diahreah as you call it, the systems are really checked, memory engrams are etched and deviations easily observed.
Do you recall a continental airlines dc9 that landed gear up in houston awhile ago? great procedures there!
have fun
