VS is probably one of the best techniques to slow down and get down at the same time. As opposed to what you see every single day which is selected slower speed, aircraft pitches up to slow down and flys off profile, now you watch as they battle to get back on profile. Sometimes unable to, and when in the terminal area sometimes leading to an unstable approach.

Our ice detector is a stick that protrudes from the center post of the windscreen. NK’s 320’s are about as bare boned as Airbii get. Just slap the heart over our most admired company badge, fill our carts with peanuts and hold onto the buses until we’re relatively sure someone won’t dig any more ditches with a Max.

This is a scary button that should ONLY be used in “extreme” or “emergency” situations…. Or so I was told years ago in a grave and solemn tone after using it to clear some weather in the low 20’s climbing out of LAX.
Since then my cockpit prep consists of covering it up with a post-it note with his initial reaction “NO!”
