I know you like to think you "Own" the glory days of mandrualic flying.
Not sure where you got that idea either..........But I'll see your NDB and raise you Decca Nav and a coffee grinder ADF on the Wessex
the boat sounds better than droning around the sky.
I'll stay flying while I'm still young enough to do so thanks, saving boats and golf for when I am properly old
Much of my experience with boats has been rescuing people from them
And for HC - this is where I got the idea that it was normal to use ALTA on a coupled approach
My understanding of this approach was the V/S was active to a preset ALT.A. So ALT would deploy at the set altitude. The previous stabilised approach during the descent then destabilised as there was no automatic or manual modulation of the power (collective).
That was DB earlier in the thread.
