Boeing 777 departing Dubai nearly had a major incident after takeoff
The memo from Emirates about not setting altitude in system to airport altitude is so weird. I really hope that&#x27;s not the actual message Emirates is putting out there.<p>It doesn&#x27;t matter was in system. You run your checklists and configure for your own flight &#x2F; your own departure etc. Memo should be to training &#x2F; recruitment - where did you find these pilots to fly a 777?<p>So they obviously didn&#x27;t pre-flight the flight. And they don&#x27;t seem to have used their takeoff checklist either? That should get them through flap retract and 2,000 feet or so.<p>Takeoff checklist might have rotate at 160 or so. Then you get to positive climb and V2. You then clean up the plane (flaps &#x2F; gear etc), maybe hit 2,000 feet &#x2F; 210kts?<p>This is all checklist stuff. I&#x27;ve no idea what&#x27;s Emirates has as checklists, but this is like 101 entry level flying stuff. What was pilot monitoring doing during all this?<p>They still on ground at 215 kts? 262 kts at 175 feet?!
