ACR EXCEEDS 250 KTS BELOW 10000 FT.

Narrative

IT IS APPARENT TO ME THIS CAPT IS NOT PROFICIENT IN THE ACFT. HE HAD MAX PWR AND WAS IN VERT SPD UP APPROX 1000 FPM. THIS CAUSED THE AIRSPD TO ACCELERATE PAST 250 KTS TO APPROX 310 KTS BEFORE HE CORRECTED SITUATION. THEN HIS CORRECTION WAS TO INCREASE VERT SPD. DID NOT DISENGAGE AUTO THROTTLES TO HELP SPD REDUCTION. AT ONE POINT IN TRIP HE NEARLY STALLED ACFT. CONTRIBUTING FACTOR: AGE. I DO NOT THINK; IF HE IS ANY INDICATION; ONE SHOULD LET HIM FLY PAST 60. THE FE WAS SHOCKED BY HIS LACK OF PROFICIENCY AND SKILL. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATES HE NOW FEELS THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH CAPT. HIS PERFORMANCE WAS SO EXTREMELY POOR. CALLBACK MADE TO SEE IF RPTR AND ENGINEER HAD APPLIED ANY COCKPIT RESOURCE MGMNT TRAINING TECHNIQUES OR ANY COMPANY FOLLOW UP WITH CHIEF PLT. RPTR FEELS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE OR UNION WOULD BE THE WAY HE WOULD PREFER TO FOLLOW UP. HE IS GOING TO TALK TO THEM. ANALYST ASSURED HIM SOME YOUNGER 'COWBOYS' FLY POORLY TOO!
