thanks Con!
the original post by DHC8-FO states that this is the procedure for the 300. you mention the 100 and 200. so, it seems to me, the original post could have mentioned the 300 by accident. we have 300s and 400s and no such procedure. going to ask the FO today to check for any hidden placards under his feet when he puts them up against the instrument panel during the relaxing 25 minute flight that awaits us

cheers
