Alaska Hawaiian Merger Serious Version

I’m not going to knock him on that, I really don’t like the HUD in gusty situations. Too much “dancing” of the cue.

4000+hrs of flying an HUD, and it still is my least fav thing to use the HGS for.

Agree to disagree and it's a requirement for us as PM. I haven't really noticed any "dancing" on our airplane. I don't program it for takeoff 99% of the time, I find it most useful with the EFVS for storm avoidance and for approach for SA as a pilot monitor. It'll be a sad day when i won't have one if i'm forced back to the right seat.

You guys dual HUD?


For us, it’s CA side only. And only required to be used on the -800/900/MAX during takeoff and landings for tailstrike awareness. That’s the (only) official requirement. Of course, it can be MEL’ed/deferred.


With the HUD coupled to an autoland approach, we can take the lowest RVR of 400 for a CATIII approved runway with at least 3/3/3 on the plate.

It’s definitely helpful as pilot monitoring to see their thrust versus airspeed

as PM I definitely include the N1s in my scan on final. Flew with a lot of FOs coming straight from props at the last gig and because of the different feel to power management on jets it was very common to see new guys oscillate between 35% and 70% N1 without realizing it. I did the same thing when new on the Lear.

The schoolhouse used to emphasize keeping the power stable on approaches. For a 150K 900ER you needed to hold 56% ish

They don’t talk about this anymore…

This was false as of a year ago. Especially with having to do the unreliable airspeed stuff they emphasized knowing your ballpark power settings. At least the instructors I worked with did.

I haven't heard anything about it in a long time. I used to hear about it every briefing. Just goes to show you that everyone's experience is different.
