Ok, this will be my last input in this thread. I think it's has been interesting and beneficial. Basically, I think we're all singing from the same hymn sheet more or less. Some of the points that Ozy makes are valid - if we're sitting up front we
should be able to hand fly the aircraft to the required standard. In the majority of cases regarding EFATO, then the automatics
should be available and it would unquestionably reduce the PF's and the PNF's workload.
With a push on TEM (Threat and Error Management for those unfamiliar) use of automatics, where appropriate, is encouraged to facilitate Crew coop and workload management. Non-use of automatics, when fully available, resulting in incident/accident may well leave the CM1 in a difficult position careerwise or even legally......
Fly safe everyone.
Out.
