Perhaps ATSB would like to include in the SOP's a check of the horoscope for each pilot, reading a passage from the bible followed by a group hug? |
It's all very robust
Fruity intelectual language and absolute wankery - perhaps the ATSB have been receiving lessons from the CAA Voodoo Witch Doctor?

A True Statement - Bollocks.
Ben does have a point.

Well, William Blake had somewhat to say about Tigers; "When the stars threw down their spears, And water'd heaven with their tears, Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made the lamb make thee?". |
Sheppey, love ya work! I must incorporate all this into my new-age touchy-feely 20 minute approach briefing in future so that my F/O will go to sleep with the boredom of it all. That way he won't notice my sloppy flying, brought on by old eyesight and slowed reflexes. Maybe a warning of the threat presented by those infirmities could be added to pad it out a bit longer.
Jesus, whatever happened to "time-out; my radios while you read the approach plate, memorise the minima and missed approach, tune the navaids for me; then I will quiz you on the pertinent details to make sure we are on the same page"? It's served me well. Any in-cockpit briefing should be short and sweet. A briefing does not need to regurgitate SOP - we have operations manuals and regular checkrides to reinforce all that good oil. My attention-span runs about 30 seconds, so I try to keep all briefings within this time limit in case the other guy also suffers from similar attention deficit disorder. |
