Never seen that piece of priceless wisdom in manufacturer's FCOM's.
Neither, was talking about SOP's.
As PNF, your feet should be placed on the floor - close to, if you wish, but certainly not touching the rudder pedals and your hands on your knees or lap.
Maan! thats an authoritive statement, wish I was as certain of myself as you are TM
As far as both pilots having their hands on the controls during take off, flying or approaching to land. Again totally superfluous and is only done in exciting aeroplane movies.
I totally agree with you.
Does anyone have any ideas as to the advantages of following on the rudders (lightly enough as to not be a nuisance) during take-off and maybe landing? I'm just wondering why 2 of the 3 airlines I've worked for thought it advantageous enough to mandate it when clearly it is a rediculous idea.
