SOP 3: strangely FO doesn't set flaps 15/gear down

Featured Replies

Hi Bryan, I am back with the 737 after 3 weeks out and suddenly I experience a strange problem with SOP 3: during approach all ok until flaps 10, but when I call for either flaps 15, gear down (or together) or landing checklist to flaps, the FO does nothing, although everything is correctly captured in the green speech bar. I tried several times. If instead I call for flaps 25, 30 or 40, he sets them correctly. What did I forget in these 3 weeks?

Thank you.

Thanks Bryan, speaking "Gear Down, Flaps 15, landing checklist to flaps" as a single phrase works. I remember that it could be said separately (indeed, the tutorial doesn't state that it must be a single phrase), but maybe I was wrong.

Ops, sorry Bryan, I was looking at an 'old' tutorial, the current one correctly states: "SPEAK 'GEAR DOWN FLAPS 15 LANDING CHECKLIST TO FLAPS'".
