American Airlines on Tuesday implemented new cockpit procedures including changes to cockpit communications during critical events including low visibility landings, prompting pilots to charge that implementation has been overly hasty.
“We will not push off the gate until we feel prepared,” Tajer said. “This is fixable if management would back off the unnecessary immediate changes. We want this to work but we demand training.”
“Our commitment to safety is unwavering, which is why we regularly update our Aircraft Operating Manuals to ensure they represent the latest and safest information for our pilots,” American said. Among the tasks with new procedures are setting thrust, controlling exterior lights and sounding the chimes that signal to flight attendants. “When setting thrust on takeoff, Airbus may call out “Flex.” This callout is not applicable on Boeing fleets,” the bulletin noted. Tasks such as controlling exterior lights, formerly assigned to the captain have now been assigned to the pilot flying the aircraft, and the use of chimes has been synchronized between aircraft types.
