of course i was not there and i am in no way being judgemental, but i have always been taught to verbalize with the other person i am flying with. ie, turning on to runway, runway clear, lined up, rolling etc... 99.9% of the time most of that is just noise and a waste of time but it just keeps every one sharp...i expect the other person to look, think and react if he/she thinks i am missing something...
