I am including two pages from my PanAm B-727 Aircraft Operating Manual
in order to provide one example of how an airline might provide
direction to it's flightcrews for the operation of it's aircraft. This
brief example covers only the takeoff, but all operations are covered in
equal detail.


Pretty cool! Thanks!

Which reminds me ... in videos of take-offs I sometimes see the
non-flying pilot place his hand just behind the throttles after the
flying pilot advances them fully forward for take-off. Any idea what
this is supposed to accomplish?
