Suosituksen perustelu
In this occurrence the aircraft taxied to the runway even though the pilots were not ready for take-off. This happened because the co-pilot was still trying to bring up the SID chart on his cockpit laptop and was stowing his papers. During the serious incident in Hong Kong on 26 Nov 2010 the pilots found it difficult to stow their lap-top computers. At the same time the captain turned the aircraft on taxiway A and the take off roll was started. In that case as well, the pilots were not ready for departure. If the pilots are ready for take-off while they taxi to the runway, they can completely concentrate on taxiing itself.
Recommendation
The Safety Investigation Authority, Finland recommends that Finnair establish a procedure which prevents the flight crew from lining up before they are completely ready for take-off.
