Personally, I find it a bit confusing when the ground crew say you are
cleared to start engines and then Michelle asks if you have received the
salute release signal.  Since the battery dies on the default aircraft too
quickly, I have to have one engine started to prevent that from happening.
I would say move the salute release signal question to later in the startup
checklist.  As far as pushing back goes, I have just enough vision to be
able to tell where to go most of the time.  What would make life easier I
think is, if there some way of doing it, to have Michelle tell you which
directions are clear to go for pushback.
Hope this helps,
Jordan

Now that Robert has subscribed.
I think that the question have we received the salute is in the wrong place.
How can we say that we've received the salute if the push back crew hasn't 
given it to us until they say to have a nice flight?
So I recommend the following.
I say that the question have we received the salute should be just after the

pushback just before the start up.
Or am I wrong on this point?
Just curious to know what my fellow BVI pilots think and if they agree or 
disagree with me on the above point.
Many Thanks.
