Surely it's about singing from the same hymn sheet rather than trying to "please teacher"?
I agree with you Bob, I imagine most pilots reading this will read 30 of the 31 things and think "I would never do that" but one of them will make them think " shivers.....do I do that?"
Thats what I'm hoping for anyway. So I think that this has turned into a list a crap behaviours rather than misunderstandings but thats cool. I've learnt something (to do with O2 and descents) and I imagine lots of other people have too.
I still think there is heaps more to come.
What about thinking that the optimum level displayed while you're on the ground will get higher as you burn fuel off in a vnav climb ? Ever see that?
