Some of the pilots at the carrier I used to work for had a standard speech for center or TRACON controllers when they rode the jump seat on "fam" trips: The captain would place his hand on the speed brake handle and say, "This is to correct my mistakes, not your's." Cute, but I don't think it did much good. With a light piston, it seems to me the old rule about not dropping below 15 inches of manifold pressure (except on short final) was a pretty sound rule, IMC or VMC. |
