Wait wait, sync'ing the heading bug??? If you sync the heading bug you just erased the desired runway. If you line up on the wrong runway and blindly hit the heading sync button, what did you just do???

SERIOUSLY, we have an instructor here at pinnacle that basically yells and screams at his students if they don't sync the heading bug. I absolutely refuse to do that. It's poor OPS...

Soooo, I hope no one sync's the heading bug while lined up, but instead VERIFIES the correct heading with your jepp/lido for that runway....

Thank you for reminding me about that!

Any comments on this aspect? Who knows, they could have done this very thing (hdg sync) and so they figured everything was ok.

Comments/better ideas?
