A large US airline used to accompany the gear call with a hand motion by the PF. It's no longer done though.

While acknowledging my personal bias, I'll agree that there may be something there. I'd argue though, that it's pretty unlikely that it'll be a problem given that hundreds if not thousands of flights...

After I wrote that, I started to wonder what was written on the lever on the bus. We say “flap/flaps up”. Haven’t come across a language problem so far (unless Texan is a language), but point taken.

That reminds me of one company that insisted the call out for the fully retracted position of the flaps was “zero” and not “up”, because the lever said “0”.

Will somebody be considered persona non grata if he admits to saying this? Asking for a friend:)

I’m also not a fan of medium unless it’s necessary. It’s a bit too aggressive. At times, low is too slow to act though. I do like that in the NEOs, low gives a bit better performance. Just right, I...

Flaps full is more stable, and the default landing config is full- flap 3 means increased workload :E

The 321 is odd in that the tail clearance is ever so slightly better with F3. Still a higher approach speed though. Easiest of the 3 to land, in my opinion. I haven't flown the A318.

Never been to LGW, but agree with your last point. If opting for F3 leads to a significantly longer taxi time, you’ve lost the plot.

Looking at Gatwick, E vs FR is exactly what I'd consider negligible for fuel burn, after having spent a few hours up at altitude burning 100lb a minute. It adds what, an extra 45 seconds to the...

I'm all for saving fuel, but isn't it getting a bit academic when we're talking about fuel burn to taxi a few feet when taking one exit vs another? Not to mention the potential lawsuits because of...

Flaps full at 3000ft?!?! I guess that’s one way to ensure you’re stable. From non-scientific observation, I’d guess most people in my company don’t get to full until 1200-1500, so that halves the...

According to the FAA ROD table, a 3.5 degree Slope at 150kt will be 925fpm. Passing 3500ft MSL, if you say the Vapp can get up to 160, it wouldn’t take much to get a VS over 1000fpm- but that...

At my US company, flap 3 is “encouraged” but most people go with full. It’s at the discretion of the PF. My preference in your situation would be full. We do a few approaches to places where the...
