there is never anything wrong with looking something up as long as it doesn’t take you 5 minutes to do it.
tk is there for you. But there is also an expectation that you know the basics. I only have 4 hrs to get you ready for a validation on CQ. There’s atleast 2 hours of material I must cover maybe more, plus questions. TK is here for you to a point but TK will also not hesitate to sign you up for more training if you need it.
GLS used to really be a pushed option in the ATIS at IAH. All of our 737s aren’t capable but used to ask for it for a few years when we had the option. In all aspects, just an ILS as far as flying it. Not difficult. Saw a number of anomalies during day VFR that required intervention so not really a fan. RNAV RNP and one day auto land from it will really be where we are headed IMO. I personally love the RNPs from downwind IAF. Quiet on the radio and the 737 flies them well.
