Hello Pilots,
I'm wondering how much hand flying you do when in VFR conditions, when in the terminal area, i.e. take offs, approaches, landings, circuits etc.
IFrom watching a couple of 'in flight' videos, it appears that the autopilot is used 99% of the time.
When flying a visual approach how soon do you disengage the autopilot ?
(How soon would you *like* to turn it off !
What are your company policies regarding autopilot, in VFR conditions ?
How about visual / departures ? It must be fun to actually 'fly' the plane as long as you can ...?
The 'gadgets' are great for IFR, in fact providing everything's working ... (which is hopefully most of the time !), but how much 'stick and rudder' do you get to do ?
Mike
