This is a fascinating thread, from a non-pilots viewpoint. Flaperon777’s been around the block a few times, takes pride in doing things right, but he’s discovered he’s got a ‘simple’ flying problem. He’s also got the nous to ask others.
Along comes guru Old Smokey with ‘Yeah, it’s a quirk of the aircraft. What you need to do is this ………’
Full marks to Flaperon for asking.
PS, Flaps, you didn’t by chance land your 777 in Dubai early last week - before you perfected the knack.
