Pilot directs co-pilot to his seat and waves both hands in slow, looooong, move all the way from right to left across entire instrument panel and back; then up and over the engine levers; down along the circuit breakers and up again over the center pedestal; points at his chest and says: "all this is MINE!"
Points at co-pilot's push-to-talk switch, says: "and that's yours" Done. |
CRM
1. There used to be a certain senior training captain/instructor at Redhill who conducted command courses within the company. He was also in charge of the charter operation. When charters requiring 2 pilots came up, a hapless co-pilot was sent to assist. Rumour has it, when CRM became the buzz, he briefed the said junior thus:-
' CRM, listen you're the Crew, the aircraft's the Resource and I'm the Management. Don't touch anything unless I say so and we'll get along fine.' 2. When I first started flying at North Denes (1986) there was a captain on detachment from Aberdeen Offshore (when Bond kept a 365 on the Forties) - (not you Griffo). Known throughout as ' the Greatest Living Irishman', his favourite trick with junior co-pilots (until he was confident of them) was to whack their fingers with a 12" plastic ruler if they strayed towards any buttons/controls!!!! |
