And that's why you get questions from people asking for other's input on how they have evolved the FCTM's guidance to something that works for them.
My response was aimed at some of the replies, not the question, which of course is reasonable. Suggestions such as to ‘unhook the thrust levers at 40 feet before the flare’ will get the original poster in a lot of trouble should things go wrong and he/she followed such advice.
