Effective:
IP: FO, talk about one thing that went really well for you
on that first leg.
FO: I think the fact that I didn’t get overloaded at any time,
that I was able to stay ahead of the airplane and because
of that the rest of the leg went pretty smoothly.
Ineffective:
IP: You did a good job on that. Did you know you did a
good job on that?
FO: No.
IP: Well, you did.
Effective:
• “What aspects of your performance were particularly strong
on the first leg of your LOS flight?”
• “What did you like about your performance on this trip?”
✈ Get the crew to talk about what could be improved, and
how.
Discussing what did not go well helps the crew identify
problems that occurred, examine why they occurred, and determine
how to resolve or avoid similar problems in the future.
Effective:
IP: What happened on your preparation for the approach;
would you have done anything differently?
FO: Well, I dropped the ball by not putting the approach in
there. I don’t know where I was when that was
happening.
CA: Well, yeah, and I didn’t pick up on that either. We both
missed it.
Effective:
IP: What did you think about your go around?
CA: I was coming down and I just hit vertical speed and
then max power and then flaps 15. I was trying to be
smooth, but I thought it was really poor, actually.
Effective:
• “Are you satisfied with how you handled the generator
failure? Why or why not?”
• “Discuss one thing that you would like to have handled
better during your climb out?”
• “Why did the miscue occur, and what situation led to both
of you missing it?”
• “What events led to SOPs not being adhered to?”
