Chris thank you!
This has always been one of those things I have wanted to understand. Many thanks to yourself and Owen. |

Philip, the second. Company policy augmented by Captain's discretion for operational reasons.
P.S Nick, the TSMP is by far and away the most difficult piece of equimpent installed on a 767! It looks easy, but takes a while to get your head fully around it. You are correct that the 1 represents CLB 1, and the CLB is full rating climb. The order of actually pressing them is an entirely other matter, and can't really be explained simply. |

There could be a whole host of reasons why the crew barely slept in the previous day (if this was factually correct). It could be do with jet lag (circadian rhythm), pattern, hours, their activities in Melbourne during the layover, the hotel accomodation etc. The punitive culture aspect is scary because if there were systemic issues in EK involved and the crew were treated as such for an honest mistake, who in future would dare to report/raise the issues with their seniors in EK?

Personally I haven't heard any other incidents involving EK in a long time. No to say their hasn't been any but I never hear them. If there is a systemic problem they must cover it up well.

You would just hope in Melbourne on Thursday the ATSB and whoever else from the regulatory bodies (CASA etc) that is there will present the truth and whole facts to the media and in the report released to the public. It will no doubt be an interesting read and if there are recommendations made by the report hopefully some pressure will be put on EK to make these changes albeit it massive ones if it is in the culture as the news limited report says. Also- I think the fact that Emirates is sending those senior execs is almost a pre emptive action ( if what the article says is true) and they are clearly worried by the implications of this report being released and they have very good reason too even with what we know so far |

There was a similar article in the Herald yesterday, and it mentioned that the pilots were forced to resign when they got back to Dubai. Must have been significant pilot error involved.

Or a serious culture of denial within the management of Emirates.
Is there a systemic procedures issue at EK? How many other airlines have had 3 serious tail strike incidents in only a few years? |
