Outside of that the lowest we can set is FAF altitude (again if in VNAV). We set MA altitude at our 1000' foot call.
well, my wife’s father-in-law is on that flight. so I’m just glad they got on the ground safely.

Maybe SWA should turn on the 1000’ and 500’ audible callouts? Making us say them manually is pointless and reduces safety margin. Those could have possibly prevented a few of the low-flying events we’ve had.

that’s good to hear. But why were they turned off in the first place? Let me guess.. because the -300 couldn’t do it?

It's been about a year since we set zeroes.
