Do please tell us mere mortal, highly experienced airline captains, whence your superior knowledge comes from!?
Standard Operating Procedures are just that.
I take it in your experience that you have never encountered a situation that has not been covered by either SOPs, the normal checklist or the ECL?
Well, one day you will. Please tell us other mere mortals and relatively experienced airline captains what you are going to do then?
I would also suggest that having
had to think and act beyond the protection of SOPs etc. is a more useful experience than
never having had to do such a thing. The same hour a thousand times...
What qualifications do you have to make these recommendations?
TRE/Fleet Standards Captain/Previously responsible for developing new checklists and SOPs for the introduction of a new type.
Your shot.
