You are spot on.
The non flying hand belongs on the TL ( minus V1 to ca 400 feet on T/o) for tactile feedback.
Very important on the 738 when trying to slow down on a tailwind approach and or a steeper then 3` glide when heavy.
Now for the Asiana:
First Q:
" How many pilots does it take to trash an aircraft?"
A
"Usually 3, One being an instructor and or super senior"
I am on my first zigar and second coffee , so not quite awake this balmy Sunday morning, so my numbers might be wrong from memory:
The Captain Candidate had 8000 hrs and ALL on A320 and they were sitting him direct into the LH seat to command a 777. He had less then 3000hrs command.
That is pure madness from the Company and the local CAA, me thinks.
THE direct cause of the accident.
As mentioned before if THIS was a challenging approach , what about the one Murphy had lined up the first week after line release , on that dark and stormy night , with the toilet on fire!
A systemic fail from the company with at least two marginal crew with that a lack of self preservation.
Blame Boeing!
Why not, they should not have sold it to them in the first place?
