9. KEY FEATURES OF EFFECTIVE SOPs.
a. Many experts agree that implementation of any procedure as an SOP is most effective if:
(1) The procedure is appropriate to the situation.
(2) The procedure is practical to use.
(3) Crewmembers understand the reasons for the procedure.
Could anybody suggest what are the benefits of the re-written procedure? I find it akward that what has been a poster child for the above (FAA AC 120-71A) now seems to be missing on all three key points.
Empirical evidence suggest it is my understanding which is wrong, what did I miss?
For starters, these are some ideas:
- spoilers are moved to the beginning to enable shutting them during roll-out, disarming the A/BRK this way
- lights follow "PF = lights" philosophy, which escapes me (especially PF=CM2) but as a rule, it has become more simple, albeit less functional.
- "I am ready --> you go head down" (see c above) trigger is removed
