my question stems from check pilots imposing the calling out of FCU knob handling by PF, with AP ON,
to me this is incorrect, and I believe it is a miss interpretation of the SOP standard callouts (Actions Commanded by PF ).
I being english conversant, readily understand the word command as being an order given to the PM, and not a self performed action,
but i believe these check pilots new to the airbus, take it to be a "command" to the auto flight system.
I am trying to bring this issue to the training department but I can find another tool to make them understand that you don't say anything about the FCU, but rather announce the chance in the FMA.
I hope some one can help me with that.
take care.
