ACMS......did you actually fly on tne 200LRs?
Because if you did you might have a better understanding of what the PDCS actually did. And 'yes' the FE was there to help the old 350kt descents till 10 nm BUT he (no she's then) AND us worked the PDCS to let it do what it was supposed to do.
Maybe you operated the aircraft differently than I was trained to though.
