"you must be flying for AP, if so, I'm again confused because those RR 238's hdg info, is as I mentioned earlier, non responsive to the position of the Stby Ign sw, I've operated those acft., I remember! ?? "

As Maxwell Smart would say.... "Several possibilities" here, Flight Detent... <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

1. My recollection of an incident which someone once told me about when I was still bright-eyed and bushy-tailed is not so good (Fortunately I wasn't there at the time). I've been in the same company for 27+ years.

2. Because this was such a l-o-n-g time ago (well before AP had any of our RR 238's), the aircraft in question may have had a combined StbyIgnMHRS CB (just above the F/E's drawer). AP probably has two CB's (being a later model) and the result of selecting Stby Ignition may have a different effect.

2. The finger was only pointed at the F/O, because he was the closest at the time

4. I don't fly, so I may have overstepped my mark commenting on pilot procedures <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

Hope this helps/clarifies things?
