Someone asked how do you teach a pilot through the FDs. Well, for starters, teach them to be in command, not a proactive passenger. You simply cannot fully, 100%, blindly trust everything the machine is telling you. It makes mistakes too, it fails, no matter how modern and techy it is.
I fly an A320 for a regular job and I like to get a kick out of it by manually flying it a bit more than most pilots I’ve seen. How to look through the FD? Well, since I’m flying it, I make my scan and my inputs are based off it. Take a look at the FD, does it match my own “mental commands”? Yes? Follow them. No? Diagnose why it doesn’t (diagnose includes my own commands, I can of course be wrong and the machine right).
I liked the concept mentioned earlier: Flight Advisory. Most of the time it will be right, but then one time it may not... what will be your course of action?
