range of autos

A few years ago when I was an ab initio student with about 30 hours on B-47's, at the centre for Army Aviation at Middle Wallop, I was out on a GH sortie with my ex Navy civilian instructor.

He said; 'Show me a range auto'

I thought he said; "Show me a range of auto's"

I climbed up to 3000ft and proceeded to morph from a 'standard' 60kt auto to a 'constant attitude' and finally a range auto. The instructor sat in silence as I produced my 'variety pack'

The instructors nickname was 'Chopper' as he had a reputation for 'chopping' poor students.

I can't remember how I got away that day !
