airline pilots: how important is having a sterile cockpit?
during my training, I used to have a bad habit of conversing with my CFI during taxi, takeoff, and “critical” phases of flight. I became fond of the sterile cockpit rule and applied it during my checkride. But do airline pilots ever engage in small talk about irrelevant things during taxiing, run-up, takeoff, and landing?
