Fact or satirical fiction?
Someone mailed me the following incident the other day. I suspect it's
a satirical work, not factual - I mean, it can't happen real-time like this ) Is there a way of verifying the extent of the jest? Here's what was mailed: NASA ASRS Incident #294800, Atlanta, GA (ATL): ------------------------------------ Crew: Two-man crew, Captain (CAPT) and First Officer (FO); report submitted by FO Aircraft: MDT (Medium Transport, 30,001 - 60,000 lbs); large turboprop Flight Conditions: IMC; apparent ceiling 200 ft ILS Approach Min: 200 ft ceiling and 3/8 mi visibility CAPT was PF (pilot flying). On Approach (APCH) into ATL, the aircraft was stabilized one mile outside Final Approach Fix (FAF) at 2,700 ft MSL. Aircraft flew through the Localizer (LOC), overcompensated and flew through the LOC again at the Marker. Once the Marker light illuminated the Gear Down/Landing Checklist, to the line, was called. FO proceeded with the Landing Checklist and called out the major deviations. * FO: several "wild excursions" ensued. * At 400 ft AGL, FO stated: "We were full-scale Right of LOC and on Glide Slope (GS)." * At a point above 200 ft AGL, FO called Go-Around (GAR). * At 200 ft AGL, FO: "We broke out well Right of the Runway (RWY) and adjacent to the Touchdown Zone (TDZ). * The CAPT called for GAR; FO pushed up the Power. * CAPT called: "No, I got the RWY made." Landing (LNDG) was made after "several wild banks and ensuing jest by the Tower (TWR)." FO self-evaluation: * "I should have been more assertive as an FO"; and * I never should have allowed the APCH to pass the first deviation after missing the LOC." Ramapriya |

ups.com... Someone mailed me the following incident the other day. I suspect it's a satirical work, not factual - I mean, it can't happen real-time like this ) Is there a way of verifying the extent of the jest? Are you asking about the "ensuing jest" being broadcast on the radio? I don't see anything in the narrative that claims the "ensuing jest" was broadcast on the radio. I don't see any good reason to rule that out, but it would certainly be unusual for the tower to transmit critique of a landing pilot during the landing. However, it could well be that the narrative simply refers to comments made in the tower itself, among the controllers and not transmitted on the radio. As far as verifying it goes, well...if it wasn't transmitted on the radio, you'd have to ask the people who were in the tower at the time. Presumably that's what the author of the narrative did.

Fact or satirical fiction?
Many years ago I was parked in my car near the approach (ILS
Rwy 4 at SPI) with the weather at about 400-1. I saw an ANG F84F fighter breakout at 400 feet, well to the side of the runway in a 50 degree bank. Just go to the NASA website and look up the incident by case number. Sounds like a general and possible screwup. A missed approach on an ILS should always be done if the needle even reaches the full scale, because you have no idea how far off scale you are at that point. http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/ -- James H.

I thought PF and PNF (Pilot Flying/Pilot Not Flying) was one way airlines designate who's actually manipulating the controls in their procedures since the captain is PIC regardless of who's leg it is? |

In fact, the FAA encourages us airline types to re-do all our manuals and checklists to include references to PF and PNF, as opposed to Captain and First Officer, in situations that describe who is actually manipulating the flight controls.

And when solo, am I both PF and PNF? Happy Flying(or Not Flying)! Surely that should be HF and HNF! What surprised (and dismayed) me most about going back to aviation after fifty years was the insane proliferation of acronyms. That, and spelling "mike" as "mic". That, and pronouncing Baker as Bravo.

Pilot Role Reversal During PICUS
I guess it's time to repost this:
(A recent update to the British Airways Flight Operations Manual) Flight Operations Department Notice, Operational Origin: Operational Standards Group to: All fleets - long and short haul. Eff. Date: 01-05-95. Subject: Pilot Role Reversal During PICUS. There appears to be some confusion over the new pilot role titles. This notice hopefully will clear up any misunderstandings. The titles P1, P2 and copilot will now cease to have any meaning within the BA operations manuals. They are to be replaced by Handling Pilot, Non-Handling Pilot, Handling Landing Pilot, Non-Handling Landing Pilot, Handling Non-Landing Pilot and Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot. The Landing Pilot is initially the Handling Pilot and will handle the takeoff and landing, except in role reversal when he is the Non-Handling Pilot for taxi until the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Landing Pilot at 80 knots. The Non-Landing (Non-Handling, since the Landing Pilot is handling) pilot reads the checklists to the Handling Landing Pilot until after the Before Descent Checklist completion, when the Handling Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Non-Landing Pilot who then becomes the Handling Non-Landing Pilot. The Landing Pilot is the Non-Handling Pilot until the "Decision Altitude" call, when the Handling Non-Landing Pilot hands the handling to the Non-Handling Landing Pilot, unless the latter calls "Go Around," in which case the Handling Non-Landing Pilot continues handling and the Non-Handling Landing Pilot continues non-handling until the next call of "Land" or "Go Around," as appropriate. In view of recent confusion over these roles, it was deemed necessary to restate them clearly. Authority: Operational Standards Group S 4220 H3 TBA,OPS12/A34/0595 |
