Great read

Finally took the time to read all the posts. Good fun.

Here's mine:

LFUS on the -400 way back, as PM doing flight control checks, the proper slow and gentle way. Trainer tells me to do it slowly, as I should remember there could have been fuel in the stab tank, 4 tons, and it could be sloshing around violently if I did the control check too quickly.

So I thought, is the fuel in the elevators, or in the stab?

Trim moves the stab, control wheel moves the elevators.

Did he really believe that himself, or was he pulling a joke?

I also got the "Don't hold your hands on the trust levers while taxi out, if you hit TOGA it will go to TOGA thrust, as the flaps are down.". That was with another trainer.

No it fogging won't as I am holding my hands on the thrust levers! That's what I thought, I didn't say it.

Next trainer says, obviously, "why aren't your hands on the thrust levers while taxying?"

If it's not in the book ..
