This extra verbalizing should be stopped at a certain stage or students will leave training thinking it is an SOP.
Manuel, congratulations
in my opinion I guess it's one of the best replies in this forum concerning briefing and talkings and all the "bla-bla-bla" which some airlines call "our company SOP's" on the Airbus.
This aircraft is designed, approved and certified to be flown on the SILENT COCKPIT.
It was so easy to fly this aircraft e.g. 10 years ago with much more silent cockpit used. But nowadays it seems that we all are returning just beeing monkeys and have to cry at almost every stage of the flight with just doing our "bla-bla-blas". And this bla-bla on 4 to 6 sectors. Its just annoying
The old times BOEING MD, etc. have gone. Today we should stick on the real AIRBUS philosophie, a new one, a modern one, a sophisticated one. Like: Silent Cockpit - No Paper or at least less Paper Cockpit. If we continue bla-bla-bla like it's unfortunately done this days, the day will come where we have again a Flight engineer or a navigator on board. Then we all can share the bla-bla-blas and will so have a more safe (OR NOT
) 4-men-cockpit environment?
More "bla-bla" doesn't necessarily mean being more professional or more safe - in my opinion the result is just the OPPOSITE.
- Less safe, - less situational awarness.
