You can tell that I fly the C-5. I have a tough time "selling" your ideas to our new from pilot training guys that attitude + power is required to smoothly (or roughly, for that matter) fly large aircraft. Many don't seem to have the time and discipline to memorize power and pitch settings, but that's a leadership issue. The Galaxy has tremendous momentum, combined with being underpowered, that makes the "I'll chase the needles and shove the power as needed" way of flying just awful. And has resulted in several inadvertant stalls in the history of the plane.

Could you expound on your sim profile? Any techniques on managing the altitude part of the equation especially. I would like to use it in the sim.
