I stand by 411A on this one.

If you do not say it clearly then you are missing the point.

Has nothing to do with aggression, but with the fact that the reader is to sensitive and/or not capable of accepting a simple truth.

I have seen it on the tread on BA approach techniques were their SOP forces them to consider ever approach as a CAT III using all automatics.

I have seen it with British contractors all over the place.

UK airlines do not encourage their pilots to fly the real stick and rudder and they pay a price for that. The same has happened at KLM.

There is a good reason why JAR has introduced the skill test, unfortunately they did not require to do it without the Autopilot.
