Will Fraiser-
Understood. (my earlier reply seems to have been deleted so I'll leave the commentary out.)
Would the A/P being on make any difference in the recommended use of A/T in sev/extr turb?
I seem to recall that the A/T systems in airbus' have an advanced algorithm for dealing with windshear & turb.?
Did/does AB and/or AF recommend leaving the A/T engaged for sev. or extr. turb.?
