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....

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

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 ___!"

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

Interesting. I guess that's why our checklist was changed to:

FMC Runway.............................XXX, Verified

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"

Thanks dude! I needed that. :laugh:

Thanks dude! I needed that. :laugh:

the word dude would then have to be defined in your AOM. i.e. Dude = Pilot flying

So, now that you all know how to line up on the correct runway .... are you still allowed to use an unlighted runway at night?

Runway...dunno.

Justy FYI --


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

Seriously? I've been saying that as a joke out here in Long Beach for months!
