"The flight director will only serve to confuse you."

Yes, that's what I think, as well. The ILS indication on PFD will surely help me more initially.

Anyways, in the meanwhile I got some "numbers" from the airline itself, that I am supposed to be using for preparation. Since I have never flown glass screen, only round gauges, one question though:

On the 737NG, when deccelerating on downwind for flaps and gear, are the flap speeds on the speed tape? OK, I got some numbers: do I throttle back first, and when the plane have just deccelerated past the F(x) speed, then I command Flaps (x), right?

Thanks for tips,
