Briefings
It was already mentioned earlier on - how interesting it would be to hear the approach briefiing on the CVR.
Also it would be interesting to hear the 'Take Off Emergency Brief' if there was one. I always say something to the effect 'that in the event of stopping the aircraft I will retard all 4 engines and pull all engines into reverse' and will follow this up with simulated hand movements. My brain, tiny as it might be, will hopefully remember what to do when the sh!t hits the fan and hopefully will not forget to pull all the reversers or close the thrust levers. The interlock system will take care of things on a 4 engine jet if it has to.
The point being, did the PF say he will reverse both engines or just the No1.
Bubbers - The TW incident it took 18 secs for the pilot to apply the brakes. 11 secs is a long time on a short runway especially as manual braking was the normal procedure.
Post #1236 Airbus Telex states that the CM1 was the PF. The CM1 is the pilot in the Left seat.
