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