In what has now become a PPrune tradition, my ancestry and aeronautical knowledge was called into question when I posted this on an early thread on AA587....

"At the altitude/speed these events occurred, normally a pilots feet are on the floor, letting the yaw damper system do its job. "

'An A-300 or any other large twin is not a Pitts Special, nor should it be flown as one. There are different skills/disciplines required to fly each one well – and sometimes those skills are mutually exclusive."
