Adopted and ammended from ME forum
so glad that it's not only us.....
I have read and understood the above requirements and agree to abide by them.

- Thou shalt land the aircraft on the runway center-line
- When changing radio frequencies listen before transmitting to ensure you aren’t transmitting over someone else.
- When using the radio English is the language we use.
- Aircraft radios are not the appropriate medium to chat with your comrades; I recommend the pub for this, or else the telephone.
- You are the PNF at all times, unless I’m overly bored, or want to demonstrate requirements 2 and 3 above.
- We do not deviate around ground returns from the weather radar; learn to use the tilt function and look out the window.
- We do not both have the radar on maximum range at night whilst engrossed in weather; you will not see the top of the next CB.
- Don’t concentrate solely on the radar picture. Look out the window; it’s amazing what you will see.
- Don’t ask for changes to clearances without the captain’s approval. Remember, the captain signed the flight plan, not you!
- Check your FMS descent profile against altitude and distance to run. Inserting altitude and speed constraints into the flight plan changes the computed profile and it’s not always accurate.
- Brakes are for wheels. If you need the “Air” speed brake, you’ve already cocked it up.
- It is permissible to fly at green dot speed.
- If ATC impose speed constraints requiring flap and there are many miles to run request extra track miles and maintain a higher (clean) speed. Either way, the captain probably knows best, and it’s HIS AIRPLANE!
- Do not accept speed constraints that are unreasonable or inconsistent with the characteristics of your aircraft or company SOPs.
- When acting as PNF and a configuration change command is given; check the speed and do it. There is no rule against selecting gear and flaps at the same time.
- If landing on a 4000m runway the touchdown zone is the same as a 2200m runway. Performing a “greaser” 1000m from the threshold might impress the punters but it doesn’t impress me.
- Thou shalt not start the engines, taxi, or other things that the captain doesn’t trust you to do, so stop asking.
- It is your job to do the walk-around, not mine.
- ACARS cost money to use, and we don’t fly to Domodedovo, so stop getting their weather.
- The seat-belt sign is under my control.
- If I am still able to sip my tea, we are NOT in severe turbulence.
- The Captain can say “I have control” for any reason. You can not!
- Review requirement number 5 above.
I have read and understood the above requirements and agree to abide by them.
