It might be a prudent option during FORDEC to transfer control, but it is not required by the checklist nor by the SOP.
Correct,i checked and mine dont require either...however im a prudent type of guy,I think you may be as well.
On the NG there is that brightly illuminated ISFD that will work for 1:45, or 45 minutes longer than battery power and is easy to fly from both sides.
It is as bright as you set it
and you must have wonder great fos flying with you.
Captain PFD is what i would fly with and even with loss of both IRS, left side has a better view and angle of scan than from the right seat.
It is my prerogative to take over control in such cases as I would give controls to the FO in other cases (for example in case of airspeed disagree for example if his speed is recognised to be the operative one).
Lets not go into this ridiculous new Boeing Airspeed disagree pitch and thrust
settings as they are designed for pilots with absolute no clue on basic pitch and thrust...
Actually it would be a good new thread.....signatures to send this updated checklist back to the drawing board..
To be honest, the loss of both engine driven generator checklist is a behemoth with its six pages and numerous decision points. It is one of the checklist where it is better to use it on the EFB in my opinion as the links make it that much easier to navigate through that thing.
Never flew with an EFB and dont think this checklist is so exhaustive,bit long yes but with your superb topguns next to you,it should be a breeze
