Here is an example of an incident showing the importance of checking the guidance system is set for your specific aircraft type. A321 where the guidance system was set up for A320....

The captain couldn't see that the bridge was too close? da-de-da just follow the guidance.

Program shit into your radios and screens before you start to move the aircraft!!

Got 'er all figured out already?

Yeah, pretty much. Let me know when you find out I'm wrong.

Let's see.......clear day, middle of afternoon, taxis directly into (no wingtip brush here) a parked aircraft. How much "inside scoop" do you need to figure out they weren't looking outside.

It turns out to have nothing to do with programming an FMS while taxiing. There was a brake failure as an initiating event.

Thanks "linecrew", you've made me realize the error of my ways - and I feel shame. I will no longer expect pilots to look out the windows while taxiing and make sure they aren't going to hit anything with their aircraft.

If you happened to be the guy marshalling him I hope you gave him a big hug and told him it wasn't his fault.

...sooo yeah.
