This whole trim/AoA rubbish was started by Smythe. I didn’t want to correct him because he had just agreed with me on another topic.. But it makes you wonder what quals some folk on here have.
You dont NEED it to fly the aircraft, if you have experience. Everyone talks about feeling the pressure and trim. Is that even trained in the sim anymore? look at the troubles many have setting trim in the first place.
My point was that I dont see, with the experience level of many pilots today, them being able to keep the ac in trim enroute without the AP. That is my opinion.
Make more sense now?
