Children of the Magenta (Video)

It is part of the AMR AAMP program.
IF you can find the other parts they are just as good.

Yes sir indeed they are. I recently had the opportunity to see it all...

Don't forget: for all its automation, it is still an airplane. It might look like a bus inside, but to paraphrase Langweische, it goes on wings.
 
Solid video. Definitely worth watching.

This is amazing. Watched the whole thing at the edge of my seat and seriously wanted to give him a standing ovation at the end. "We are not automation managers. We are Captains and pilots."
 
This is great! I should show it to my old flight school who went bananas when I took an airplane with a broken GPS on a solo XC.

Thanks, lol

I was holding off here because of the recent thread comparing all the forums. Wasn't sure if it would get lost in all the clique'ness or side bar inside joke threads to really serve a purpose.

:)

Or, I was just going to post it in the tech forum and let it get lost :sarcasm:
 
In ground school they showed us the one where the guy explains how to get out of an unusual attitude/upset recovery techniques. Interesting to say the least.
 
Anyone know where the other videos in the series might be available for download/viewing?
 
I COMPLETELY agree with everything he said, but there also needs to be a video about the guys (typically the more "experienced" guys that tell us young buck that our logbooks are too thin to be jet captains) that can't even set up a simple airway intercept in the FMS

Or, as I like to announce after the four clicks: "Motion's on!" :)

But seriously, this was a great video that gave me a lot to think about. I realized I was getting lazy with the use of autothrottles especially, and the last 5 minutes about turning it all off and flying an airplane hit home. I still see the automation (at least some level, even if it's just the autothrottles) as a valid fatigue mitigation technique when everyone has been up all night, but turning all that crap off as much as you can will keep you the most proficient.

SOMEONE QUICK, GET THE FDSO's NUMBER! This guy is gunna hurt someone. :sarcasm:

Seriously good video. I have found myself doing exactly what he talks about, and I haven't been at it all that long. Very insightful fella. Glad I came across this video because it helped to remind me that the automation doesn't always make things easier.
 
I'd watched it a few years ago but what it really drove home to me (especially after reading US Airway's FOM 2 as well) is how poor our training is down here in Regional World. I know some places (ExpressJet and Eagle) do spend a lot of time on some things (our "CRM" block was 25 minutes... ExpressJet's is a day or so), but in general it is pretty sad how little they teach us and how much we need to go out and learn ourselves if we want the knowledge and skills.
