The seat belts (mainly the buckle) go into the hemorrhoid hole so those of us with a ball bag don't get them smashed upon sitting down. I've found 3 VORs that didn't test properly over the years. One happened to be both Cpt and FO side. Every other neurotic setting of zeros, etc. Is just that. Neurotic.

Wait, what? You mean you actually have pilots that are setting zeros in the altitude window, etc. before leaving the flight deck?

Anyways, the future LCA move is to set the altitude window to the outbound altitude, while setting every other window to zero. Then you get to touch every dial.

When we intercept the GS or VNAV path on final we set zero in the altitude window. It was that day in training that I learned to "shut and color".

I kinda gave up on forums too, unless really bored. It's sad because APC used to be a great resource. Lack of interest, declining membership, meaningless topics, turf battles and testosterone. The increase in sponsored ads show traditional forums giving way to other social media and could go the way of email chains of the 90's.
