It makes me feel a lot better knowing that even though the timing was there, it wasn't derogatory. I've updated my post slightly to account for this. I also fixed the acronym, that's an important one! I had to chop out some of the video but it's still worthy of watching. I'll post a new link as soon as it finished digesting at youtube. Now that we've flown at o'dark early, how do you feel about working at night? hint, hint... Louis, thanks for pointing out that information.

I guess he could have articulated that more clearly, because like you, I assumed it was a reaction to our landing. I'm still a junior instructor, and as such, I get lots of these friendly reminders from all the senior staff. Sometimes it's news to me, sometimes I already know it. I just smile and nod. They don't know what I know. Jean did most of my instructor rating, and so has a certain "parent looking out for their kids" syndrome with me. Just like I have with all my students. Just like how I'm tempted to remind you of what we covered during our lesson. Just like how I want to remind you that it's nose on or above horizon. ;-) Hey Michael,
