Trained by Lockheed long ago

411A Sadly, your comments are not just dismissive of your fellow crew members, but also way off the beam. Like your professional Flight Engineers, I too received training from Lockheed many years ago...

411A's farcical comments

fergineer, thank you. As professional F/E's we both know why we were/are employed. Commanders who conduct themselves as his comments suggest 411A does are, fortunately, very rare. As for writing up...

B747 Autoland

Mutt Nice video of an autoland from the Simulator, but in the real world the Classic requires a minimum crew of 3 for normal operations, although reading some posts not all people think so.

"Have forgotten or never really knew"

411A, I am certainly old (and now retired), however I was never a malcontent. Sometimes , but very rarely, I did not look forward to going to work. On those very rare occasions I did not look forward...

Simply trim the thrust like he was supposed to.

411A, you may have 26 years or whatever on the Tristar, but it seems from some of your comments that you've not learnt a whole lot in all that time. The post from Tristar500, which you seem to find...

F/E's

Flight Detent, thankfully comments from people such as Tristar 500 regarding the value of F/E's are few. Thanks for your support and also to JD for your comment re the Hounslow Flying Club etc etc.

Awful professional F/E's snagging snags.

Tristar 500, as one of those awful professional F/E's, also now retired, I find your comment nonsensical. Your reference to No 2 Engine Overheat is somewhat intriguing, especially when you state that...

F/E Role

Con-Pilot. My apologies if I got a bit "touchy", comes with the ageing process maybe. My comments relate only to the "Professional" Flight Engineer and the part we play/played in the overall...

Crew Monitoring

JD, I have no problem or argument with what you point out regarding the use of Emergency/Abnormal/Alternate or even Normal Checklists. They are Challenge and Response Checklists. My comment relates...

FE asleep

18-Wheeler. How kind of you to concede that most FE's are good. So too are most Pilots!!

JD. In all my years operating as a FE I was never conscious of being "monitored" by either pilot when...

FO flying from RH seat

Thanks JD. I guess I still have a question about why 18-Wheeler believes "You'd really need to see the FE's panel" as reason for the Captain to have to be removed from the LH seat so that the FO...

You'd really need to see the FE's panel

18-Wheeler, I presume you are commenting on a normal Classic crew where the Captain becomes incapacitated scenario. That being the case, would you care to expand on why "You'd really need to see the...

3 Crew aircraft flown by only 2 Crew
