Considering that a lot of us are children of the magenta line, I have been asking my fellow pilots in the right seat for a while now, ( line flying not training flights)
At top of climb, "What do you think the box will say for level off altitude and more importantly, the drift down speed will be, before you select the engine out VNAV page?"
Or when working it out for the approach, 'what will be the braking distance/FOLD? ' BEFORE they press the magic box! Just so they start to get a feel for the ballpark figure before the box comes out with the answer, because we know the problem with magic boxes is ' rubbish in rubbish out'
Hopefully they will then pick up the fxxk up, before they end up in the office for tea and biscuits.
Just my little effort to get pilots to think, hope one day it will help someone.
Not that hopeful, because none of them have even thought about the figures before, and trust the magic box totally!!!
