- rather a wild assumption, d F - on your basis a lot of the F/Os with whom I have flown in my career must not type-rated. That (important) panel sadly gets very few glances in real life, and it was really only post-Helios that I could engender any enthusiasm to do so..

[de facto]

I understand,however since the OP is looking into this specific system himself I would have thought that he would have started by having a look while in flight and that it would be a normal thing to do...
Look how it works from the outside and see if you can get some out of it..

When I have an Fo staring at a panel,if not snoozing with his eyes open,I am asking 'whats up?' and then they normally fire away the question...

I haven't been watching this thread and my attention was drawn via PM.

Please let's not continue the negative invective or I will be forced to wield the big stick.

Play the ball, chaps, not the player.

I suppose I might ask who died and made you the designated spokesperson for "a group of pilots". I also don't see what's so shockingly inappropriate about my question.

Frankly, you and a few others have badly polluted these fora with snippy, crass remarks.

I'm not a pilot, merely an enthusiast who at one time greatly enjoyed PPRuNe, before the likes of you with your "private club" attitude, and a few others who actually tell folks posting questions they should be using google instead, have taken over the discussions here.

I really, really hope I never have the pleasure of trusting my life to someone with your attitude.

If you behave this way here - in an innocent discussion setting with zero pressure - I would hate to trust your CRM in an emergency.

First, when throwing around labels, it might behoove you to know how to spell those labels. Just, you know, for credibility and such...

This has nothing to do with a "private club" attitude or telling people to use google. It's just that when one has been in the industry a while, been with a couple of airlines, flown a couple aircraft types, one starts to notice certain patterns. One gets fairly familiar with what crewmembers do or don't do. So, when a guy comes on here claiming that the only resources available to him are the FCOM and pprune, it throws up sort of a red flag. Why not ask a check airman/TRI/TRE/manager of training/fleet manager/Fleet Captain (different airlines use different terms for theses people)? Why not ask his systems instructor, who, you know, is paid expressly to know these things? Granted, not everyone is a fortunate as yours truly whose most recent systems instructor used to fly side saddle on the Air Force One, but still, airlines have resources for this sort of thing far better than pprune.

As for my CRM, it's fine, thank you. You know how I know? People I fly with have told me, check airmen have told me, sim instructors have told me, so I hope you understand if I pay your "concerns" no mind, but I truly appreciate you putting your "enthusiast" two cents in, layperson opinions are always heartily welcomed.

Just the way you phrased this leads me to believe that you're the type who gets told what he wants to hear more often than what he should hear.

You should have been a captain. There's much more room on the bridge of a ship for stowing an ego like yours.

Happy skies.

John,
Maybe its time to close this thread since the OP was satisfied with the answer given and no further tech input is added...

You're probably right, I'm such a big deal that even check airmen are afraid to tell me what's really going on.
