what part of "reasonable" ....

Tee Emm,
Did you read where it says "reasonable" īcause I see you quoted it...
Thatīs exactly my point. An FD command should be followed as long as itīs reasonable and wonīt put us into a CFIT or upset situation. Most FDs nowadays incorporate initial windshear guidance, but their recovery capability maybe overwhelmed by the severity of the WS. In this case a pilot must fly the airplane out of the ws him/herself. Reasonable commands should be followed without overcontrolling. Knowing approximate attitude for certain flight phases helps a lot.
Reasonable !!!
