Interesting video. one of the comments says its a mandatory go around if your not down before the two lights on the runway just past the papi

Cool vid. The ERJ at flaps 45, gear down, and idle thrust really likes to come out of the sky.

Is that london city airport?

Is that london city airport?

Yeah, it is. Cool vid.

They always sound so professional over there. Quite different than the commuters over here.

Is that london city airport?

Yes.

Very cool. I'm always curious how they include the intercom audio??

I really don't like "Speed checks - flaps 22".

Well, if I called for flaps 22, and the speed is appropriate, why do you need to verbalize "speed checks?"

Oh, well . . . I digress . . . .

Lots of guys at ExpressJet say "speed checks" prior to selecting the requested flap setting, or before putting down the gear.

It's actually a required call at a lot of places.

Not everybody is as good as you and some people actually do call for flaps at too high a speed.

I actually have this entire video on DVD, it's a really good watch.

it's a good check.

you're a hell of a pilot if you've never inadvertently called for the flaps a few knots fast.

Procedure at some, technique at others.

I know when I went through 75/76 school, and especially since I was a former MD-90 pilot, the instructors get drilling "speed checks" into my head.

Primarily because flaps on a mad dog and a 767 are different. In a mad dog, they're drag and lift. In a 75/76, the philosophy is more of a 'high lift' device.

ON a mad dog, you need to get down in a hurry, throw the boards out, get to about 280 and call for 'slat extend', work your speed down to flaps 23 speed, flaps 23 and aim for the dirt.

If you did anything similar in a 757/767, you're certainly going to overspeed the flaps and the plane is going to need to be inspected. The philosophy is 'boards' to get down, flaps to get slow and a lot of instructors drill the airspeed check into your head.
