Microburst2002 - I welcome any questions or clarifications you may want. A trend that concerns me is more and more pilots who don't know enough of the details of what they are operating every day. Even worse are those who don't care to learn more about their rides. You are strongly bucking both of those trends so fire away with any questions that I might be able to help with.
I don't fly anything near the size or complexity of a 777, but I have had the chance to look through the manuals. Part of the problem is that he manuals themselves are not sufficiently detailed.
A lot of it seems to leave out the details of what's going on to make the system work. Do you have any idea why the manufacturer has decided to take this direction?
