"Who told you that?"

It was a person involved in aviation training videos who has contact with a UAL pilot. Another source has just told me that V2+10 is shown in (circa 1997) UAL manuals and training information (also, in UAL 757 manuals) but there are also variations in some of the training information (with no explanation).


I heard several years ago (probably in the mid-nineties) that at least one airline used V2+10. The matter resurfaced on a PC simulator internet forum, and I wanted to see if any of the "real world" pilots could shed some light on the matter (didn't make sense to me 10 years ago, either). I also wondered if UAL training/procedures had influenced other carriers. Even though this is only of general interest to me ... I'm not questioning my own airline's procedures... it would be nice to resolve this issue once and for all ( 10 years is a long time )

Cheers.
