Is it Garuda SOP for the right seater to select the flap?
For the benefit of DaggerDirk,
PF calls, PM selects (and checks the indicator)
If PF doesn't call, PM recommends.
GA doesn't like F/Os who just sit there and follow the Cpt blindly anymore! The ones that are, gets FIRED.
For your information, GPWS, for years, has had a function which warns the crew if not landing at normal landing flap. I very much doubt if this Garuda 737 was not fitted with it. So landing with no flap at all is, to my mind, a complete furphy, unless the crew did it deliberately, which is just not practically believable.
There's video evidence somewhere with the GPWS installed on GA 737s, though not on this 737. It's ex JetAirways, ask JetAirways if they had 734s without GPWS. *grin*
The sad thing is there is no way an Airbus would have sheared off the nosegear and fallen apart like that.
Should I just laugh this one off?
