Does the F/O when he/she is CM1 (PF)....
Does the CM1 when he/she is PNF...
What a load of rubbish! Id have to write
out a bloodey memo in the cockpit to remind meself who
the hell is who doin what!
Anyway I done Tooloose recentley so dont say I dont know
nuthin.Apart from re-inventing the aviation wheel a la
Frog, Airbooz dont distinguish a 200hr CM2 (thats FO in
normal aviation talk) from a 2000 hr one. So a 200 hr kid
can dictate to a 10000 hour captain and dob him in for
"lack of CRM" if the captain cant be bothered teaching him
the basic airmanship and pilotage techniques he shud
allready bloodey know to stay alive. The 23yo stuckup Frog
I had as sim-partner proved that.
And heaven help any skipper if he takes the stick away
from the FO (sorry, le CM2) if his judgement deems it
necesary to stay in one piece - Le horreurs! Le captain
infant terrible! (or somethin like it). I thought I was gunna
be taken out to a tumbril and guillo'd after a sesh where
Le Ace was about to prang the sim.
Im starting to think this damn A320 endorsment was a
huge mistake.
Anyway PF means "Driver operating the FMCG", and PNF is
the bloke doing the paperwork. Simple as that realy.
PS what got up Airbooz's nose is my refusal to call myself
a "CM1 PF" - Im a CAPTAIN whose PILOTING, mon-sewer!
