Just trying to say that you can be a button pusher in any other plane as well, not only Airbus.
True, but the younger Airbus set tend to treat the box like an
Adobe program instead of a tool. Point is, why the extra puter
button activity, four seconds or not, when its not necessary?
Wasted use of cockpit resource.
But sometimes I just sit there and watch the kids pushing
buttons like crazy inserting a simple missed approach on
a sudden change of runway that has the MA proc missing
from the Co database, while trying to juggle calls and
checklists. After they've completed it, they tend to get
chuffed when I say "Why did you go and do that? If you
had've asked me first, I would've said if a missed approach
become necessary I'll do it raw data......and btw you punched
in the holding pattern wrong."
Then I flick over to ROSE VOR.....
BTW
Dan W why do you need an ILS G/S on a visual
approach? PAPI's work fine, as does the Mk1 eyeball.
