OK Tony, I believe you.I guess the conversation drifted from co-pilots callouts to how radar altimeter works and hence the misunderstanding.Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_744F.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_beta_member.jpg

This reminds me of an exercise I did in a communications class in college. Take 10 people or so and whisper a sentence to the first person. Then have that person whisper the sentence to the next and so on down the line. By the time the last person gets the sentence its usually something totally different. Ain't human nature funny!
