DB, or even more simply, if one of the two pilots had been actually monitoring the airspeed.
A passenger has asked if we brief specifically on how the approach will be flown between the AP and the Pilot Flying. In my 20 years offshore experience I would say we do not cover this in enough depth.
Probably fair, I for one have not done that in the past, other than "this will be 3/4 axis coupled", but it seems a good idea and I will take that up.
Yet the response from crews is borderline hysterical that seems to centre on the checks being too long already. It is this that has to change. Our culture and our attitudes.
The point being that the important elements of the briefing are often lost in the mass of waffle and verbiage that is trotted out "parrot-fashion" the same way every day. It is that that needs to be cut down, leaving the vital stuff to stand out and actually get noticed.
