A Polite Question
I’m lucky enough that my flying job has been relatively unaffected by COVID. I also do not fly large passenger aircraft.
My question is, what if something were to happen on your first trip back that necessitated a hand-flown approach down to instrument minima?
Are those people that claim they will wait a few trips before they hand fly confident that they could handle an emergency that required a manual approach?
Surely to say you want to wait is to tempt fate a little.
As I say, it is a polite question and don’t think I’m having a dig.
In my flying world we constantly try to do the hardest thing we can to make the routine things easy. ‘Train hard, fight easy’ is the mantra.
But then, we don’t have company profits to worry about. Or passengers for that matter.
