Re the assertation that no airline can be found that uses the speed trend to deduce "DECEL", please see the latest FCOM 3 SOPs from Airbus
Thank you, bsieker beat you to it by some eight hours.
This hasn't reached my airline books yet.
See also what Bernd said :
So the Decel call is based on, in this order:
Seat-of-the-pants
Speed Trend Arrow on PFD
DECEL light
So, it's not as clear cut as you said.
Moreover, when you say :
They even taught pilots to call "NO DECEL" if no green light!
I wonder what your call-out would be, as NHP, if you'd selected MED a/b and nothing happens...on a rainy night on a shortish runway...before the amendment...and after...
I wonder.
On the other hand, I would agree with your :
Another example of the "Not invented here" syndrome so beloved of many in TLS? If the "B company" did it then it couldn't be right for the "A company". Pathetic
if you'd just swap A and B. After all, the computer airliner was invented here in the EU, wasn't it ?
But this discussion has no place here, I just wish that both manufacturers start giving us - pilots - back some sort of standardisation. Flight safety would benefit. Some airlines have a hell of a job trying for a fleet-wide set of SOPs and it's no joke. I know for instance that AF is using some dumbed-down procedures on their Airbus fleet in order to conform to the airplane utilisation on the Boeing fleet.
The jury is still out on this one.
