SCAMPE?
PUBWO(C)? Some Captains still look at me bemused when I deviate from the Big Airline SOP brief into "I will stop for a top line red, red hyd or a major loss of thrust. Engine failure above 250kts, I'll turn right for rw19 and from 300kts I'll turn d/w for 32"!!! |

From 1971 and they are probably still taught today.
The position and hold must be firm enough to support the weapon The weapon must point naturally at the target The shot must be released and followed through without disturbing the position. Sight alignment (aiming) must be correct. |
No one has mentioned:
STINT FLAGS which I stuck to even when my force chose STIFF QIM and anyone identify this that I still am able to real off and imagine doing it: RPM: Max Mixture: Fully Rich Induction Air: Cold Fuel: booster pump on, contents, balance, both Speed below 135: flaps to inter Harness Canopy Brakes |
Gun firing all right - gun stops: Cock - mag off - fresh mag on - carry on firing. (No 1 stoppage drill for the Bren) In the dim and distant past I was a Rockape before I was a nav! All answered, belt off, clear blockage, belt on, carry on And then he arrived at a Vietnam vet and asked again... Belt off, pack off and f*ck off was the reply.... Back to the thread :O |
To combine:
I found myself at a museum sitting in the cockpit of a Wessex changing the drive configuration on a helicopter, a procedure that involved moving throttles and switches with much dexterity and panache Stb SSL fully forward Pt SSL fully back Both Turbines running No.1 needle below 180 Main Drive selected "IN" Indicator cross-hatched Indicator "IN" ..and still lots of people (not me chief) fcuked it up ...... |
How about,
Same, rolling, pulling,half, pause, FIRE, recover!:E |
Hoover hooving alright, hoover stops.
Switch of hoover, Check bag, bag full, empty bag, replace bag, Switch on hoover. Hoover hooving alright, hoover stops, Switch of hoover, Check pipe, pipe blocked, clear blockage, Switch on hoover Hoover hooves a few more hooves and hoover stops again, Hoover f****d. |

I'm glad no-one's mentioned the stupid 'TIMTS' thing taught by the old farts at METS....:yuk: |
"Kick the tyres, light the fires, check in on 243". |
Anyway, as for the others, I've heard of being picky, but picking on Airborne Aircrews post in that way, is as petty as if I was to post I wasn't 'picking', I was querying because I remember being taught differently. I remember the T in GRIT as being Target, as in: 'Left 2 O'Clock, 5 enemy in open, RAPID Fire'. |
