The idea behind "doing great" is that you're going to smoothly sail to the end of the ticket risk event
because you're doing great. The last thing I want to hear... "Hey, you're SE downwind for the RNAV RW 11 after the fire; doing so great, I think I'll toss in a flight control failure on top, and drop the weather down. You guys can handle it."
I can't disagree more. Are you being paid for A&P duties now? And are you authorized to do that kind of thing airborne? We're not, and for good reason.
Sorry, the last thing we need are more systems wizards and professional flight engineers teaching ground school.
Well said. We aren't flying 727s and DC-9s anymore. The Airbus systems are so interrelated that often there is more than meets the eye going on.
Been there, done that on the building the airplane thing, hence my screen name. I could draw the 727 electrical schematic in my sleep at one time, although it might have been the R52 relay.
