September 21, 20196 yr Since the take off is usually always being aborted by the Captain, there can't be a misunderstanding. Btw the only situation where I can think off where both pilots are having their hands on the throttles are old multi-engined planes like the DC-3, where it can be necessary to constantly adjust MP during the takeoff run. On four engined planes like the Dash 7 it can take quite some time until you have established the identical torque settings, but in this case the Captain usually has his hand hovering slightly above the power levers until the 'take off power set' call out.
September 21, 20196 yr Like I said, it depends on the company. I can call stop for 4 items (6 if I’m flying), the Capt can call stop for whatever he likes. If stop is called, the takeoff is aborted by whoever is flying (driving?). No misunderstandings, no hand holding. I’m not saying it’s wrong to cover the thrust levers, just that it’s not wrong not to. Sorry to muddy the waters and add some grey to people’s black and white thinking, I know it can make people uncomfortable but “always” and “never” are big words when operating an aircraft. Hope this helps, Ian
September 21, 20196 yr Just out of interest, are you flying for an airline or are you flying biz jets?
September 21, 20196 yr That makes sense. I definitely wouldn't want a 250hr total Copi make a go, no-go decision.
September 23, 20196 yr It's only when the Capt starts gently rubbing the FO's hand on the throttle that you have to begin to worry. 😱 Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case

September 23, 20196 yr It depends if they are an item or not ..

November 7, 20196 yr Throttle creep isn't only on older aircraft. KingAir's have a tendency for throttle creep due to the design of the friction lock on the quadrant. I'm not sure if Beech fixed the issue with newer aircraft...
