Hey Real World Pilots:With all data recorded on a flight, does a pilot get "dinged" for certain conditions that are the fault of the pilot?For example, Overspeed warning sounds, or any warning sound for that matter.If I exceeded my max speed for flaps extended, I get a warning.On ILS approach, switching to manual for landing and touch down, when the GPWS system says Glide Slope, Glide Slope...Basically any deviation from a perfect percision approach, could sound horns and warnings.Are there warnings that are more critical such as stall warning?Would like to hear about the Big Brother aspect of cockpit. And how every move is basically monitored.Thanks!Barry

G'day BarryWell on the A320 i am on and the Dash i used to fly things are fairly similar.For all overspeeds the aeroplane is grounded on arrival and requires a maintenance inspection.On the Bus overspeeding flaps actually engages the wing tip brakes which freeze the flaps in there current position.As you can imagine this is a bit embarassing to say the least.Our aircraft are fitted with quich access recorders which are more for statistical use but record everything and i mean everything on a flight.It is used more for generic info on average ref speed exceedances etc rather than individual events.It shows trends with our company well.GPWS requires a report to be filed on all occurances.Basically anything which can be monitored is but in most cases not in a big brother style.Yes you are in for a talk if you break something or ground an aeroplane but that is fairly rare.I have been involved in one flap overspeed but that was in severe windshear where we got an IAS increase of over 30kts at Lord Howe island.Grounded was our Dash!!Anyway HTHDarren

Thanks Darren!Would like to hear other stores from Real World pilots!Barry

Darren,I thought the warnings were well above/below the damage threshold.Minimums for approachs may be another story.ThanksBarry
