Is American "Airline" training really so shonky that an FO can have never done a flaps 40 landing, and his Captains is scared to ask/tell him to? What goes on in US type rating courses? Coffee and poker? How can anyone convert to a type and not practice all the landing configs? It doesn't seem possible.
WTF?
Is there some mystery to a F40 landing? Because if so I missed it. For several years.
What other config would you even consider to use on a wet runway with a tailwind component? Is there one? - apart from asking for a runway change?
Truly shocking. This is genuine Indonesian aviation standards - right there in the USA.
