Who does the take-off briefing?

[xjcaptain]

Not sure about other types, by at XJ we have done a transfer of controls during the TO at various speeds on both the DHC-8 and the SF340 for the 9 years I've been here. Not as bad as it sounds. Mostly due to the total lack of nosewheel steering on the SF340 from the right seat (i.e. none) and limited steering through the rudder pedals on either side on the DHC-8.

In the ATR at ASA we transfer controlls at 70 knots due to a lack of nose wheel steering with the rudder pedals. Although most of us are already pushing on the rudders well before that to get an idea if the darn thing is going to try and shoot off the side of the runway when the captain releases the tiller.

80 knots determines highspeed v.s. lowspeed abort. In my opinion control of the airplane should never be transfered above 60 KIAS much less above 80. I can't believe that POI's would allow that.

Take-off briefing what is that...

ASA

It's supposed to change in the fall. I think the captain will still do it, but it will only be the things that are specific for that take off; initial alt and heading, flaps, speeds, n1, plus short runway, wx considerations etc. Not the novel of extraneous info some captains run through now. I think PF should do it too, but I don't think that is going to change yet.

Yep...I've been told this is the new procedure also. I was told about it in recurrent about 2 motnhs ago, so I would think it will be going into affect within the next 2-3 years!! About the same as us going Cat II, getting ACARS, and getting that contract signed in one year!!
Seriously though, The PF will brief the flight at the gate then the Capt will hit the "high points" on the taxi out.

You have got to be shatting me...high speed take-off roll transfer of controls?!?

Now I HAVE heard everything!

I have never seen this type of operation before either untill I came here.

For those who've flown "wetdream" jetstream, the guy in the right seat doesn't get on until 70 kts. Then he gets off at 70 too. This seems to be pretty common for turboprops of this type. Seemed pretty screwed up when I first heard about it too, but you have very little rudder effictivness if any before that, althought Stifler's mom is right, your usually hanging on before that to see whats gonna happen when the tiller comes out of the equation. Usually I'll tell the guy if it's going one way or the other, but not always...keeps em on their toes.

DL--the pilot flying. The Capt listens and makes his/her own comments afterwards if it is the FO's leg.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Ditto...Same on the Shorts

When I flew Dash's, and it was the FO's leg, the Capt lined it up and then handed the airplane over, FO would advance the power levers and Capt would set T/O power.

Capt would be on the tiller only for a short distance.

The FO would also conduct the brief.



At my airline, the FO does not have abort authority, even on his leg, We as FO's "call out malfuntions" but do not call for the abort.

Also, if there is going to be an abort, the capt conducts the abort, even on the FO's leg. Is there anybody out there that has heard of this before?

Its usually something like, "I'm pretty non-standard, this airplane that runway, Acceleration Height is standard, up to 5000, Lufkin 4 Departure...any questions?"

NOW I know why I've been seeing so many altitude busts coming out of IAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
