how is ALT SEL a big gotcha?
There is a very good reason why the speed bugs work the way they do, it allows for flexibility in airline SOPs
Can you elaborate what is the right screen that you get to see when pressing the sys button twice? I rather prefer hitting buttons twice on the ground to get to the page I want to see on the ground and only press it once in the air when I'm in the emergency, rather to do it the other way around.. Again, can I ask how many hours you have on the Q400 and what was your previous type? maybe habitation is causing some issues with you?
