Problem solved.
That’s a sound decision. But I feel everything should be covered before pushback. I also feel it should be handflown. So I’ll write what I asked others to do:
1. Make a 2-mile and 3 mile ring even with FMS 4.2.
2. PM use DME in case an LCP is watching
3. Brief the PM to turn the HDG knob to 180 and then 040 when appropriate without calling for it
4. Brief that there will be no commands or config changes until in the turn to 040. (This will cover the demands of 10-7 pages)
5. Hand fly the thing as per the 10-7 pages and turn between the ring.
6. Never have to write an ASAP.
I was mind blown when trying this after someone better than me taught me it.
