Glad someone beat me to the "speed" call thing. Heard it too often, calling 1 knot below Vref + 5 as a speed excursion.
F/O's calling "You have control" at 59.9 Kts. Sometimes letting go of the controls. Sometimes with reverse above idle still selected.
Not knowing how to avoid the "Alt acquire trap" before G/S capture. Sometimes going around because the aircraft "Got them too high".
Failing to call rotate if the speeds drop out of the FMC.
"Why did we just fill out the bug card?"
"I thought it was a legal thing."
This latter sadly reflects too many companies arse covering ethos as is making a standard call long after it would have been relevant.
