Hi eveyone,
Thanks for your inputs-greatly apreciated-it appears that there are still different ways to skin the cat and still a variety of procedures/rules being followed.
I wanted an ATCO as thought they would have the latest access to a definative answer.
The question was raised- as a "new broom sweeping clean" and a new regime is trying to impliment changes and i just wanted to have the correct answer before i shoot my feet off.
What i dont follow is....JAR refs to an AIP which says one thing, and S-I-T provides a pdf manual that states completely the opposite
The procedure i have always used is to have both pilots on the SAS / QNH as appropriate to stage of flt-ie set FL when told to go to one and set QNH when told to go to alt-regardless of your current alt and leave the stby on the pressure your are leaving. I am being told that this is wrong-regardless of where in the world you are.
Always issues with big pressure changes but hopefully that is an airmanship thing that is practiced and dealt with.
Thanks again.
VTSP
