The whole point of doing the checklist is that our memories aren't fool-proof no matter how much you think it might be!! I'm sure he didn't start out this way when he was a new hire.. probably picked it up somewhere along the way from someone else who told him that it was OK and even practical. Even though he's a good friend, I don't look forward to flying with pilots who practice these kind of habits. |

My pet peeve is when the non flying pilot keeps hitting the heading sync when the AP is engaged and in LNAV.

I have a friend who was vehemently arguing with me that in the "real world" you have to memorize your checklist because you just dont have time to pick it up and read it off in certain situations (he was using the before takeoff checklist as an example).

My pet peeve is when you do something like run a checklist at the time it's supposed to be run and the CA gets all irritated because he didn't 'ask' for it. :D
P.S. - Prior to reading this thread, I was discussing exactly this scenario with my CA. Our new joke is now "I haven't called for that yet!!!!!!" anytime someone makes a common sense move in the cockpit... |
CAs who don't step on GoJet!

He was a bit controlling... Not a fan of that- CA authority is a bit different than trying control someone!

CAs who remind me that I am in magenta needles when given an "intercept the localizer" clearance 30 miles out. I know that technically it's supposed to be in green needles but have they ever seen Mr. Honeywell fly? That somnabitch is all over the place until you get to about 20 miles, and even then depending on where you're at and if they are crossing airplanes in front of the LOC antennae you may still be S-turning.
