[gobyebye]

SWA just issued a heads up on new callouts to be implemented that will have spoiler and reverse callouts on landing.

You all will eventually have as many calls as we do:laugh:

I bet we'll still have more required briefings though!

I'm sure we'll be briefing the external conditions of the aircraft and tire pressure after our walk arounds pretty soon.

"500 feet."

"Final Flaps 30/40, 5 Green lights"

It's that easy.

Why did Boeing design a system where the speedbrakes have to be armed. Canadair RJ are always armed. You land, and they come up, no arming necessary.

I think Boeing need to update a 50 year old design. Pilots will forget to arm them, it has been proven many times.

momentary flap overspeed distracted them?? Seems a bit unstable..wonder what their approach stability criterion is?

It was a windy crapy wet day in MDW with flaps 40. An overspeed happens.

People forget to arm the TR's on the CRJ's all the time as well, talking about a bad design
