I fully agree with your discourse, guy. These days those
of us who enjoyed hand flying are really missing the art
of flying: nice handling, good landing with wind fully across
at 20 knots,nice de-crab and touchdown! What a thrill
that gave you!
But now we have all these software and they do everything
for you and you just sit there like a toddler and watch your
animation work it out.
Could be nice there where it tells you how to do the checklist
during abnormals, though, and the protections in vertical and
horizontal axii.
