Fact is the 'good old days' are over and finished...pilots who have entered the system in the last 10-15 yrs will never gain those skills because the system and aircraft design don't allow them. That being the case you're just gonna scare people witless doing it in aircraft that lack the flexibility to do it easily, even though an 'expanded green band' still makes it possible.
Sorry Chimbu. We will never agree. I see you & your ilk as apologists for a deterioration of elemental aviation skills. Glass technology can hide this for a whole career. But sadly, it can also fatally expose it- about once in 5 years on Airbus aircraft.
