@GipsyMagpie
I have some experience on the Bombardier CRJ-900 (as well as a few thousand hrs on the L2). Our CRJs do not have auto-throttles, so the approach is 3-axis. The crew have to mind the...

Crab:
In a "mixed mode" (I don't like that term, 3-axis is easier) the collective is not part of the automatic game. The flying pilot must control the airspeed using the collective just like a fixed...

Having a few thousand hours on the L2, I always found that in marginal weather, 4 axis coupling was a great...
