FORM TWO TEAMS!
RIGHT NOW! FORM UP IN TWO TEAMS! Supermarket trollies on the right, Nigels on the left.
This should get the keyboards clacking!
Recent BA Shorthaul 'incident', from BASIS:
Position: around 50' over the threshold of the intended runway of landing at xxx, good VMC
Cockpit situation: Handling pilot - both hands on control column to flare and land, iaw BA sops. Non handling pilot - hands on lap (or somewhere)
Event: EGPWS Hard terrain warning, due to totally erroneous 'map shift'
SOP: PULL UP and Go-AROUND
Crew reaction: SOP
I almost hesitate to say this, but I'm tending to agree a bit with 411A (damn, I said it).
Supermarket trollies - your challenge - a PA to explain to the pax how you saved their lives by avoiding hitting the hill on the runway at xxx
Nigels - ????
It would be NICE if repliers could announce which team they are playing for!
