What SHOULD be part of the verbal pre-flight is "RADAR
BRIGHTNESS KNOB SET". Tooloose hammerd me to NEVER
move the brightness knob to full dim and with good reason.
The instructer once had me in the sim taking-off into the glob
with a clear ND only to get belted in a CB because some dork
wound down the radar knob at the end of the previus sesh.
Lesson learnt!
Though not employed full-time yet on this thing I bet this
happens a lot in the real world.
