Old Mac was part of our flying upbringing, he will not be forgotten anyway so for now he's gunna be with us for sometime, the flying Gods will not be able to take this man from us just yet
I'm one of the few believers that the feet should be on the rudder pedals on T/off & Ldg clear of the floor. (The only time is did otherwise is when flying the old Doves) Few do this as far as I know. Makes for much better application of the rudder & brakes together when needed, try telling that to the old school who believe heels on the floor at all times until the brakes are need.
Trouble with heels on the floor is that if you have say full deflection of a rudder pedal dealing with a wayward machine (especially when during a rejected T/Off from a failed donk & full thrust on the live donk) then when it comes time to apply brakes the rudders have to be momentarily released to allow the feet to be moved/slid up the pedal in order to apply the brake/s,damned risky & often when traveling as a pax down the back you can tell when the driver is doing just that as the machine swings wildly. This is why Airbus have huge rudder pedals to allow for the whole foot to be placed on the pedal complete with a toe stop during T/off & Ldg, try telling that to some & you get a huge argument:-)
Now lets see the debate start:-)
