Ah, such fun. That's what IOE is for......

Yeah, my sim partner and I had that discussion the other night. So far, we've gotten three different responses from three different instructors. One said PNF always bugs, one says you bug when the AP on, and one said the PNF bugs when you hit APPR or NAV mode on the approach. Guess it's gonna be up to individual crew. All agree that the PF doesn't TOUCH the altitude pre-select bug. That's grounds for getting your fingers amputated.
