Acceleration Altitude Suggestion

[starvip]

As it stands you call "FLAPS 0, I A S TWO HUNDRED, CLIMB CHECKLIST TO THE LINE" or 160 or 240...... quite a mouthful, especially when on VATSIM and you have ATC barking at you to contact departure....Most of the carriers I see simply call flaps up and the FO does the same flow regarding props, bleeds, flaps and speed...The two most popular procedures on the Q400 as of late seem to be (Flaps up, Props 900, speed 210)...or (Flaps up Props 850, CL soft button, speed 210)... Maybe something for the future we could select which type of climb we require in the BRIEFING page. But I think at the very least simplifying the flaps up call would definatley smooth things out. Im sure lots of people have no proplem saying it with practice. But its very easy to get jumbled up saying the command if alot is going on at once no matter how many times you do it..

 

Just a suggestion of course love the product!

Well, at Brendan's old airline they were payed by the spoken word, not the hour    :smile:

 

If you want to see a real mouthful, look at the full 737 engine failure checklist name you're supposed to call for
