Its 9 out of 7. And you are welcome. How did you know I was subpar? Only my girlfreind knows! I really don't see this as a big issue though. We all do what we need to do to be proficient and professional.

You already know the answer, and that's why you edited your own post.

"I know what the FOM says, but I use my own procedure."

What other personal procedures do you use?

Stop margin? Whats that? Lots of guys posting here about stop margin that seem to have no idea how its calculated. I seem to remember the PAT changes V1 and flap settings if the stop margin was over 3,000'. I think we derate our takeoff settings as much as possible if we can. It reduces engine wear and the chance of an engine failure. And how accurate is the PAT? Its all a guess. We think the load we are given is correct, but the temp and winds we use off of ATIS are not what we actually have when we takeoff. Its all a WAG.

Fire away people with no life, just like me.

Anyways, life is over, Packers lost.

Wouldn't a V1 call at V1 cause an abort after V1?[/QUOTE]

Huh???? Why would you be aborting AFTER you heard V1??????

How about some "facts" and "data" instead of emotion for the discussion.

Here is my take, yes the company is doing this to save money and they are too cheap to buy enough 75/76 sims to meet their needs. But it is their ball so Ill play along. I just updated my 75 "qualification" with an LMS course and got paid 3 hours to do it. It was a good refresher. If there was a simlar course for the 76 I would probably do it for free (but don't tell them). My suggestion would be for the company to take those 12-15 hours of pay they are saving per year and offer quarterly LMS training sessions at 3 hours per. Make the session voluntary for a year and test participation. Establish their own best practice, instead of just copying the ones that save money and ignoring the ones that don't.

Well it would be a Captain decision but say you are down in Ft Myers where they build runways right 12k at sea level. You hit a flock of pelicans just as you reach V1 and have a 10 kt split one cages and the other is compressor stalling and you still have 8k of runway in front of you in a two engine aircraft. You really going flying? The FOM 2.01 However, no policy or regulation shall be interpreted as a substitute for the exercise of sound judgment.

The Captain is the final authority of what needs to happen in any given emergency. If you color outside the lines and it works out you get a air medal if not you are at the end of the long table. There simply cannot be a rule for every conceivable failure or emergency, except rule one fly the aircraft first. There have been guys who focused on following every checklist and procedure to the determent of the flight instead of simply landing. The same has happened when guys have "John Wayne ed" it also.
