The SOP briefs are extreme in their lenght, informative only for the first 20 seconds. It's considered theatrics from most non-brits.
Same goes for WX brief, where one pilot briefs the other guy looking at the same information....the louder seems to be better for some reason
Aberdeen tower : what's the point of an ATIS when you have to read the whole story back ?
These are spot on - not a direct relationship to safety but quite true. An SOP is one that we all should know, so why brief it unless it is going to be different for some reason. Already, we can see what other nations working alongside the "best in the world" think of our sometimes eccentric ways.
Long live the revolution.
Maybe Mr Brand is right...
important thing I believe has also been their ability not to over complicate things when it is not necessary
Again, spot on. Everyday our operations become more complicated yet the job hasn't changed for a long time. I sometimes feel like I have to be a lawyer to get the aircraft off the ground.
