Correct runway alignment SOP

[hotwing]

line up and wait...

runway 31L KK confirmed position and hold

Justy FYI --


As of Sept 2010 - no more position and hold -- it is now going to be ICAO standardization of "line up and wait"...


fun... lets all be like they are...

Captain: "Dude, are we on the right runway?"
FO: "Why are you asking me, you're the capatin."
Captain: "Dude, which airport is this again?"
Captain: "Set power"

In addition to all the above, check the MCDU or other FMS display that the entered runway matches the actual runway. This ensures proper alignment on RNAV departures that have RNP of 1 mile.

If ATC makes a quick change on the runway then the FMS must be update. It is on our below the line check in the Airbus.

The Government at work... One accident because of a wrong runway, rules change procedures change, complexity goes up.

How many accidents caused by fatigue?.... "well we will look into it"

It's a freaking joke!

What SOP's are you guys using to comply with 8900.118?

What's 8900.118? Must not apply to 121-supp 'cuz I ain't heard of it (or Fedex is cherry picking what they think they should comply with again).

Looks like it does apply to 121 but it's the first I've heard of it also....

Uhm...8900 is the inspectors handbook. Or POI handbook, which they refer to, to make sure things are interpreted correctly. Lots of little things in there that are interesting.... Found one nugget back in the '90's at Brand X, POI said, Uhmmmm....don't look at that, 2-3 yrs later, it was the hot topic. forget specifics but it had to do with runway analysis calculations etc....

This is a safety-sensitive business; each country doing it differently is a bad idea. We're fortunate that we can speak English everywhere -- we should all be using consistent phraseology for the same reason.

The RAAS in the airplane yells, "On Runway ___!"

The RAAS in the airplane yells, "On Runway ___!"

I thought that might be how we're complying however, it looks like the rule says RAAS is not an acceptable substitute.
