I can't believe that anyone thinks that it is a good idea to reconfigure the bleeds by memory after a bleeds off departure..
Surely this life preserving measure should be done from a checklist everytime.
That's why packs & bleeds are in the after T/O checklist
.
some things I noticed:
- flying in V/S when inappropriate (MCP speed much lower than actual speed / when ATC asks for a minimum rate of climb and VNAV is unable)
- people thinking they only have 12 minutes to reach 10 000 feet in an emergency descent
- CL: people pushing TO/GA before engine are spooled up & around the same value.
- general: people thinking "we have him on TCAS" is relevant.
- it does not help you, TCAS is not reliable in the lateral sense
- it does not help ATC.
- People not completely understanding FMC non-precision approach. depending on database. Some databases only show points on the approach related to safety altitudes. When the safety altitude change is for example 2 miles before the actual descent point with a 3 degree glide there is no waypoint where the descent starts. Pilots then think the FMC is wrong.
- pilots not crosschecking VNAV path with distance to go.
There are some more but I can't think any at the moment.
