When flying with new co-pilots on the 747-400 I always give them a simple rule about V speeds. When leaving the flight deck, after landing, set the speed in the MCP to zero. That forces the next crew to set something in that box before take-off. SOP is to put the ball park V2 figure based on expected TOW which can be extracted from the table on the checklist. I also advise a gross error check before take-off. Thus - is 144kts a sensible V2 for 370T ?? No it's approach speed left over from the previous sector...........
