What if A didn't hear B's response, and was reiterating their first instruction? B wouldn't respond because they think A is already at step 3 of the handshake, whereas A thinks they are at step 1. A thinks A has control of the plane, whereas B thinks B has control of the plane.
- jaywalk 4y agoEven if A says the same words (he probably wouldn't) it definitely wouldn't be in the same tone. B would understand that it was a repeated command and not an acknowledgement.
- hgomersall 4y agoThat seems tricky. Climbing, I was always taught to make the commands unambiguous. You never say "take in the slack" because on a windy day that can sound awfully like "I need slack". Each command should be distinct.
- chrisseaton 4y agoCommands that can only be disambiguated via tone sounds insane to me. Imagine being in an emergency, possibly listening to someone speaking while wearing an oxygen mask, in a smoke filled cabin, with alarms going off, and asking yourself - "wait did they say 'you ^have^ the controls', or 'you _have_ the controls'".
- inoffensivename 4y agoA is supposed to watch the other person and see their hands move to the controls.
- eternityforest 4y agoWon't A just repeat until he gets a response? A doesn't want control, if they think they have it, they will probably retry the whole thing, meaning the confusion is probably brief. He might also just see that B is making inputs and assume, if they are being lax, but I assume they wouldn't.
