Fully agree with Jack. People seem to get a firm grip on the non essentials.
Seems to me essential things are....look out window...fly aircraft to stay away from ground, except when landing on runway.
I couldn’t agree more, the trouble is SOPs, as I rather backhandedly managed to establish yesterday is that common sense isn’t that common, it’s been lost in the rush to comply with 8.3.....whatever, or worse an argument over a caution or warning, both mean bad things are about to happen.
This mindset reminds me of the two 380 pilots/trainers diverting to LHR because a computer told them that 2800m of wet MAN runway wasn’t long enough to land on
“Release the hounds” these words were uttered by yours truly on my last line check.
