go around flaps15,
In my opinion people should practice V/S approaches even if not operationally required if WX not a factor just like visual approaches should be flown "stick and rudder" and not monkey style like per FR sop's (flown LNAV-VNAV).
By the way new F/O's never get to fly a real visual during their training because the LNAV/VNAV visual is only demonstrated to them by the trainers and afterwards they are not allowed to fly it while inexperienced (500hrs); after becoming "experienced" by never trying a visual nor a x-wind landing with more than 15kts they can start flying LNAV/VNAV visuals and watch Captains landing in x-wind because if the wind is more than a few kts most Captains take over.
So after 3 years flying this way the F/O goes for his upgrade....
fastidious,
ah yes the SOP guidelines....so tell me do you select the 3 rings in the fix page on an ILS approach?I do....
