I even checked the approaches to our new favorite runway and low and behold…. yes… there’s a precision. if everything checks out... these are not CFI skills... these are common sense skills.
I never said that "had she been a cfi along with the CA" this would've never happened.
I agree with you 100 percent that common sense was lacking and was primary factor in the error to even try that rwy.
I am just saying that her low-time and having never been a real PIC prior to becoming an SIC must be considered among at least the smallest factor in the reason behind her not speaking up and.. gasp... second guess THE CAPTAIN!?!?
Due to her most memorable EXPERIENCE so far in her short aviation career do you think that she will, when faced with the same set of circumstances, (even during focus training in the sim)
A) Attempt it again?
B) Attempt it again and go around earlier?
C) Or speak up and request the other runway to begin with?
I know you and turbofan are unwilling to accept the concept that experience counts for something, and lack of it can not count against anything. So, be very careful in selecting B, or C cause in doing so you will admit that experience counts for something. May God help you.
