Well, back in the brown shoe days....

I remember when I was wet behind the ears, flying with a crusty old captain who had more time in various aircraft than I had in a "T" shirt...(This is pushing 35 years ago.)...He told me, with regard to flying the 727 and the 737, 'It flies just like a Cub. Fly it just like a Cub.'

Hell, he was right...it's just an airplane...nothing magic about the aerodynamics...flies just like a cub.

As I gained more experience, and spent more time with my nose in the books (POH, FCTM, etc.), I discovered his over-simplistic advice coincided with the company SOP.

Amazing!!!!
