It feels like we're speaking two different languages without realizing it. How are they two different skill sets? What's the difference between the two things you're talking about? Yeah there's also flying visually, but that's not relevant here as in an airline environment we're flying nearly 100% IFR (I'm being forced to point out the extremely obvious.)
In terms of being comfortable, I’m very comfortable thanks. And not in any doubt that I can safely fly a descent and approach either manually or automatically.
In your previous post you said after your incident you knew you were still able to do it. To me this implies that before the incident, you didn't know. What changed?
