Typical Responses on PPRUNE
....where has the professionalism GONE?????????????????????
Use of the Altitude Pre-Select system in ANY aircraft is a very very important subject except to TURKEYS.
Please answer a honest and genuine request for help on this forum in a professional manner.
Keep your sarcastic and idiotic and childish responses to the bar or your childrens bedroom!!!!!!
Many many tragic accidents have occurred due to the wrong input or wrong readback of the Altitude Pre-Select input. AND will continue to occur and this forum is here to help....if it saves just one prang it is worth it!
LUCILE....I congratulate you for asking the question...you are a TRUE professional....
And for my input with global experience, ICAO should have mandated a universal standard for using this important safety device. And never but never should it be readback to ATC until it has been set and the readback person is looking directly at the display as they speak to ATC and the other crew.
